A Rabbit's Vision

watercolor by James Gallagher

True perspective.  

How quick, if you lift your head, 

you reach a limitless unknown. 

yet it may only appear 

as a small detail in some art.

Rabbit walking, hopping 

are aspects of a rabbit. 

If a rabbit is comfortably foraging, 

it will  look more like animals 

that do not jump.

The rabbits design was inspired by a mysterious ancient symbol of three hares found in Dunhuang cave paintings

Many times a detail is frozen in time but pass by them quickly, realizing after days that

what is witnessed can not be recalled.

Left clothes, shoes, and blanket

We saw a heavy winter coat high up in a tree along the Broken Arrow Expressway. There are many scenes that let one wonder whether someone will return to collect a pair of pants, blanket, or a coat.  

A Baron in the Tree

"There was once a time long ago when “a monkey could take off from Rome, skip from tree to tree till it reached Spain, without ever touching earth.” --- The Baron in the Trees, a novel by Italo Calvino
