He was totally (and repeatedly) bored by the things he saw…
because within his brain was a putrid, stagnant, significant flaw.
She is joyfully thrilled by the majestic things she sees…
because her mind transcends the musty past like a wise, cleansing spring breeze.
Life is sadly monotonous only if one’s mind becomes rather stale and dead.
Look at things anew… with childlike, fresh rejuvenation instead!

[Excerpts from the ancient Gospel of Thomas:
Jesus said, “If your leaders say to you, ‘Look, the (Father’s) kingdom is in the sky,’ then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, ‘It is in the sea,’ then the fish will precede you. Rather, the (Father’s) kingdom is within you and it is outside you.
When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living Father. But if you do not know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are the poverty.”
His disciples said to him, “When will the kingdom come?”
Jesus said, “It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying ‘here it is’ or ‘there it is.’ Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it.”

Hope that rabbit gives you the keys! Happy Easter!!
That line (under the photo) about the rabbit and the keys is actually a quote from a line in a song by Tori Amos: Cornflake Girl. Happy Easter!
Nicely put. Perception is the key.
Love the wild rabbit 🙂
Thanks much! It definitely is wild! 🙂
Just like the wild bunny at our house! Beautiful!
Thanks, Jane! This photo was taken at a park along a river in a nearby town. We don’t have too many rabbits where we live along another river; there are too many coyotes where we live.
Ah, the loveliness of perception… and aren’t wild rabbits beautiful?
Yes, they’re beautiful and innocent! 🙂
very nice!! Happy Easter 🙂
Thanks! Happy Easter, Leyla! 🙂
I agree with the others, the photo is great. I certainly like how you applied the will or lack thereof to what life is like or can be, “perception.” Great scripture quote.
Thanks Jude; I wish more people would check out the Gospel of Thomas (which many of the top biblical scholars say is closer to the historical Christ than the standard four).
Beautfiul.
Thanks Sonya! 🙂
Love your thoughts about perception. So true.
Sweet little rabbit.
Thanks much, Pat! It is true that a truly orderly mind does not get tired of seeing the same, old things!
