This baby bunny seemed out of place in the coils of a water hose, so my wife carried it to a thick grassy spot where it could hide. She made sure it had water and she kept an eye on it for a while. Over the next few days, we spotted it hopping around in different places.
Being soft and cute may not seem like a defense against predators out there. But it reminds me about the words of Jesus in the Beatitudes. Here is one verse.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth
Matthew 5:5
It seems to go against our worldly instinct. But like this bunny, people who are gracious and mild can get along successfully even when there are dangers around. This bunny was highly alert and was ready to move when we came around. So it seems people can be gentle and alert, also.
