I wonder – does the rabbit, caught in the headlights of the oncoming car, know that, if it doesn’t move, it will surely be splatted all over the road?
And, if it did know, why is it sat there, staring at the headlights?
If I don’t do this tonight, I will feel relief. But then I go through this tomorrow too. This continuous worry, constantly thinking about it.
And if I skip tomorrow, then it will have to be Thursday and then it’s almost the weekend and so, somehow, that’s OK.
Except, of course, it’s not OK at all.
And, because actually this thing is not really anything, at least not yet, then that’s a stupid feeling, for sure. But delaying it is not helping. No, not helping at all. And you, my lovely reader, would almost certainly not understand if I said what it was – but then, it’s not just the one thing it appears to be. Oh, no!
But, still, I feel like that rabbit. A rabbit with knowledge but nonetheless paralysed by fear!!!

Don’t feel like the rabbit, Andy.
Feel like a lion, it’s much better
ps. I admit though that sometimes I feel like a small hopeless rabbit too.
HI ANDY-
Like I wrote to Lola, the moment of absolute certainty never arrives……meanwhile, follow your heart.
Love you
Gail
peace and hope
Hi, Cecilieaux.
Yes, and so very true! I know it and, even knowing it, sometimes just stand there, in the headlights. Grrrrr.
Yes, Lola. Lions are better. I think, at sometime, everyone must feel like the rabbit. It just annoys me so much which is why I wrote the post.
On the bright side, I DID go to the place tonight and it was quite positive. Tomorrow I must do something similar. But, having done it once, it will be easier.
Hi Gail,
Yes but this is a stupid thing. It’s just not going away. The car is still hurtling towards me – but at least I’ve moved a step. Grrrr.
… now I’m intrigued by “the place” …
very nice. interesting post
@Lola
@Terry – Welcome and thank you.
