Most people

Most people have come to prefer certain of life’s experiences and deny and reject others, unaware of the value of the hidden things that may come wrapped in plain and even ugly paper. In avoiding all pain and seeking comfort at all costs, we may be left without intimacy or compassion; in rejecting change and risk we often cheat ourselves of the quest; in denying our suffering we may never know our strength or our greatness.

Discovery

Have you seen a rabbit when the lynx is hunting?
Dodging and dashing this way and that
Feinting and veering all over the place!

I made rabbit so you could see yourself!
All panic and fur, warm and wild beating heart
Stand your ground and let me snag you with my claws

Oh! You will say, laughing –
I’m not a rabbit after all!
