Poem
A rabbit in the wild, unlike his friends the birds, goes about his entire life without saying a word. At least that’s what the scientists tell us…and every textbook too…but after having walked with rabbits for a while…I wonder if that’s true. I love watching rabbits…in their quiet solemnity…doing the things that rabbits do…that is…until they notice me. They look at me suspiciously…I’m sure they want to know… will I try to hurt them…am I a friend…or foe. Of course it usually doesn’t matter…they are not inclined to stay. They turn and whisper to one another…then quickly hop away. Which makes me wonder…after witnessing this firsthand If rabbits have a language…one we just don’t understand… What if rabbits speak to one another in whispers…whispers we can’t hear…but whispers all the other rabbits pick up…loud…and clear? What if rabbits are just a little quieter but have been communicating all along…what if all those scientists and textbooks have been wrong? What if rabbits have a complex language…a wide vocabulary array…but what if rabbits only speak when they have something significant to say… If we took the time, to observe them in the world that they inhabit think of how much we could learn just by listening to the rabbits. Think of all they have to teach us…if we could only find a way to listen to their whispers…and hear what rabbits have to say.
