Pause.

 

I was sad one day and went for a walk;

I sat in a field.

A rabbit noticed my condition and 

came near.

 

It often does not take more than that to help at times –

to just be close to creatures who

are so full of knowing,

so full of love

that they don’t

– chat,

 

they just gaze with

their

marvelous understanding.
