The Last Rabbit Chase

Never will we know

Our last rabbit chase

The one that gets us

Out of bed in the morning

To extend ourselves beyond

With the enthusiasm

For living in the chase

Toward the possibilities

Of catching greatness

As if the greatness

IS the chase—

The possibility of the catch

To the exclusion of all else

Never will we know

Our last rabbit chase

The day life changes

On its head, turns us

upside down

inside out,

falling,

fumbling

Until we realize we are

Now down the rabbit hole

The chase having consumed us

And we can see in the darkness

For the first time

We can see

We can see in our fumbling that

Our true greatness lives in

Our surrender to the rabbit hole

Our surrender to the Mystery
