What Are We So Afraid Of?

"And what my new best friend, this bunny rabbit, possessed that I didn't was simple: He trusted the universe. He trusted that good things were in store when he came hopping out in front of me. Yes, being a bunny rabbit, he also understood that there were natural hierachies and certain realities - like your own death, and those of the ones you loved most. And yet you had to accept the wolves. Living in this desert isolation, he was an optimist. In his presence, it was necessary to be one, too."
