Rabbit Ears

Intimidated by news reports and talking heads, I am certain the worst will happen. I won’t go into that story I tell myself because it is an unknown 


future. Sitting in the bus shelter this afternoon, the sun shone through the plexiglass, warming me on a cold day. The sky, a fine baby blue, was 


decorated with thin cloud that mimicked the scarves that most of us wore. Of course there were those brave, or maybe just goofy, souls 


that walked, jackets open to the light wind. One young woman, toe touched 

the pristine snow twice to make rabbit 

ears with her boots. She smiled at 


the effect and moved off to sculpt 

another pair. It’s not easy to push 

intimation aside, until someone 

makes rabbit ears in the snow.


“Don’t be intimidated by what you don’t know. That can be your greatest 

strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else.
