The Rabbit and The Lion

Double exposure experiments

A famous psychoanalyst found himself one day in the middle of the jungle, semi-lost.
With the strength that instinct gives and the desire of research, he easily managed to climb a very tall tree from which he could observe at his pleasure not only the slow sunset but also the life and habits of some animals, which he compared with humans.

As evening fell, he saw the Rabbit appear on one side; on the other, the Lion.
At first nothing worth mentioning happened, but shortly afterwards both animals felt their respective presence and when they ran into each other, each reacted as it had been doing since man were man.

Arriving to the session

The Lion shook the jungle with his roars, shook his mane majestically as was his habit and split the air with his enormous claws; on the side of him, the Rabbit breathed more quickly, saw the Lion’s eyes for an instant, turned and ran away.

Back in the city, the famous psychoanalyst published cum laude his famous agreement in which he shows that the Lion is the most childish and cowardly animal in the jungle and the Rabbit the bravest and most mature: the Lion roars and makes gestures and threatens the moving universe because of fear; The Rabbit notices this, knows his own strength, and withdraws before losing patience and ending that extravagant and out of control being, whom he understands and who after all has done nothing to him.

Emak was a wise old tree. Nuj wanted to be a mime.
The mime asks the tree
What is the way?
How beautiful this mountain is – replied the tree.
– I’m not asking you about the mountain, I’m asking you about the way – replied the mime.
“Until you can go beyond the mountain, you will not be able to reach the path,” replied the tree.
