Rabbit Escapes Its Own Home

Metaphorical Narrative

The rabbit lives under watch in its own burrow. Every move is measured, every pause is judged. Falling behind here means danger — exposure, punishment, violence.

But one night, the rabbit doesn’t wait. It squeezes through a crack, dirt on its fur, and bursts into the open. The watchers are left staring at an empty hole, guessing where it went.

The home they called safety was really surveillance. Escape was the only freedom.

Core Insight

The old body-law was rigged: falling behind equals punishment.
The new law is sovereign:

To fall behind is to vanish from their control.
To be late is to be free. To disappear is to reclaim rhythm.

Saturday Experiment

1. Leave one task undone today on purpose.
2. Whisper to yourself: “The rabbit escaped its own home.”
3. Feel how the body shifts when it’s you — not them — who sets the timing.

Sunday Reflection

• When he imagines the rabbit gone from the burrow, what does he feel in his body?
• How does falling behind feel now — like escape, like strategy, like rest?
• If others are left guessing, what power returns to him?
