How to be like a Hare, Part 1

Did you see the moon rabbit last night?

In various cultures, primarily Asian and Aztec, there isn't a man on the moon; they see a rabbit with a mortar and pestle. The only thing that changes is the contents of the mortar - for some it’s the elixir of life, for others, rice cakes.  

Mythology confirms the ancient connection between the hare and the moon. 

I think about the hare’s connection to a giant celestial body. I picture a fluffy bunny floating in outer space.

Feels much  s l o w e r. 

And yet they are so quick, topping at 45/mph. Are they somehow motivated by their connection to the moon?

Perhaps their speed takes no effort. Perhaps intent and focus naturally propels us forward. 

The hare tells us: connect first, speed later.
