I put this tiny toy rabbit in a tree five months ago.
She is exactly where I left her.
It pleases me to think that she weathered the snows of winter, ferocious winds, torrential rains, the greening of the grass, the blossoming of the tree.
I like to think that from her vantage point she has looked up and seen bright blue skies, sunsets, waxing and waning moons, the stars.
How many people and dogs (and cats and raccoons) have gone past her without ever noticing her there, watching?
I wonder if she will maintain her post for all of the coming summer.
I hope so.
I salute her, and I will try to emulate her—her staying power, her vigilance, her cheerful, hopeful posture.
I’m keeping my eye on you, little rabbit, just as you keep your eye on the world.
