A man walks upright. For him it is strenuous to climb a steep hill, because he has to keep pushing his own vertical mass upward and cannot gain any momentum.
The rabbit is better off. His forelegs support his horizontal body and the great back legs do the work. They are more than equal to thrusting uphill the light mass in front of them.
Rabbits can go fast uphill. In fact, they have so much power behind that they find going downhill awkward, and sometimes, in flight down a steep place, they may actually go head over heels.

A photograph can show a physical image in which time is static, and a mirror can show a physical image in which time is dynamic.
What he saw on the mountain was another kind of image altogether which was not physical and did not exist in time at all. It was an image nevertheless, and that is why he felt recognition.

Even in the midst of danger there come intervals of peace, If we possess enough inner strength, we shall take advantage of these intervals.

Oliver Burkeman provides an important and insightful reassessment of productivity. The drive to get more done can become an excuse to avoid figuring out what we actually want to accomplish. By confronting this question, we unlock a more meaningful approach to organizing our time.
