Wild Rabbit Run

my nudge for today

Yesterday morning I got out on the road at 5:15 am. It was still dark out and the moon was half overhead. I was running past the stream when I saw this small critter running straight toward me. It caught me off guard as my mind was focused on the birdsong.

I couldn’t get my eyes adjusted in time to recognize that it was a cute little rabbit, instead, my mind went to something rabid. I screamed. The poor rabbit turned around and rushed in the other direction.

Oops…I felt so bad but then couldn’t stop laughing at my overreaction. Fear got the best of me and my reaction wasn’t necessary. How many times do I repeat this in life, in my relationships?

I rush to a conclusion before getting the entire story. I assume rather than dig deep to understand what’s really going on. Do I pause to ask better questions?

Yesterday’s run was a cue for me to pay attention to this part of me. I’m working on this…the sage path.

What do you think?
