The past few days were met with multiple encounters of rabbits. Every time I stepped outside, there was a rabbit within my sight. I live in the countryside and I normally wake up to the sound of cows mooing and roosters crowing. But this is different.
There were no rabbits near my home a couple of weeks ago. But now I see one everyday. Even when I visited my local park two days ago, l saw a rabbit not too far from me— and this park is nowhere near where I live.
So, I started wondering why I’m seeing rabbits all the time. Usually when l observe patterns, like seeing friends wearing similar clothing every week or seeing the same animals daily, I start experimenting.
And something strange happened.
Over time, I began approaching the rabbits slowly, and I’ve gotten closer each time.
When I first walked towards one, it immediately ran away. My most recent rabbit sighting was last night in my backyard, so when I slowly approached it, it didn’t move.
Then I saw another one near the tall grass. There were now two rabbits 6 feet away from me and they weren’t running away,
I wanted to get closer, but i got distracted by one of my chickens as I needed to bring him back into his coop. Once I turned back, both rabbits were gone.
Maybe next time, I’ll finally get to touch one.
Here’s my inspiration for the day.
