A wild rabbit was eating a long stalk of grass as I walked by. Upon noticing me, it paused for a moment (I was just a few feet away) and then resumed chewing … but it kept its eye on me.

There’s a lesson here about caution and fear.

We can exercise caution, and still keep working.

We can be afraid, and still take care of ourselves.

Awareness of potential danger doesn’t mean we need to come to a full stop. We can make small adjustments to keep ourselves safe while still doing the work that matters.

Let’s keep our eyes open … and let’s keep chewing.
