Details
-This
rabbit goes from a neutral landscape (there is nothing behind him) to the
outskirts of a menacing and ever-darkening forest. There are 13 pairs of eyes
fixed on him.
-The attitude of the rabbit is hesitant. His
ears all crumpled, his body folded backwards, as if everything in him was
resisting. His eyes look elsewhere.
-The sky becomes grey, the road becomes
darker.
-Only
one thing seems firm and solid, the sign “MISSION”, upright and colourful,
planted in the middle of the road (usually they are placed at the edge).
Questions
-When
we read the letters of Saint Paul, we are mostly taken by their vivacity, their
solidity, their directness and incisiveness. And there, he tells us that he is
timid and trembling. It is at this moment that God can take place. That which
we consider as a weakness is, in reality, a great force in the eyes of God, He
who has passed this road. The force of the rabbit comes from the fact that he
is sent (The “mission” sign). If he is sent, it is by someone. If that someone
is God, obviously he is in the right place. Why would He send him to the middle
of nowhere for no benefit?
-Do I realise that my weakness is an occasion
to let God pass in front of me, across me?
-If I do, how do I live such a situation in my
daily life?
