Zen Bunny

I have rabbits in my backyard. They live in the foliage under two large pine trees. Occasionally, I see a new group of little bunnies running around and I know Mr. and Mrs. Bunny have a new batch of youngsters.

In the past few months I have noticed a strange phenomenon. One of the adult rabbits will come out of hiding when it rains, pick a spot on the lawn and just sit there for hours. Today he has been sitting under one of my maple trees in the same spot, unmoving for over six hours.

I'm not making this up. He doesn't change locations, he doesn't move his head. The first time he did this, he was laying down in the grass and after a while I was afraid perhaps he had died there, but he eventually moved several hours later.

Today, he is sitting straight and staring into space. I wonder what could be going through that little bunny brain. This is the most Buddha-like rabbit I've ever seen. I have been calling him "Mr. Bunny", but I think it would be more appropriate if I change that to "Zen Bunny".

Maybe we can all take a lesson from Zen Bunny. Just slow down and be "one with the grass" once in a while.
