Watership Down

I found Watership Down to very poignant story in my life. Whether it was in movie form, or by text, it crept into points of my life, startling me.

What a great book, is the thing I always say when I find someone reading or contemplating its pages. Its really the best I can offer. Usually when I follow up with "Its a story about rabbits." the critical eye appears under skeptical brows and they look once more at the rabbit on the cover and wonder if the book really is for them.

A shame to miss a story like this. Is adventure inspired countless authors there after to branch out beyond the confides of the human mind, and yet the tale in the story is so utterly human. Be it politics or in our own day to day living, it inspires us not to fall under the dullness of false security, to look at the ground work before us and wonder if we should step away and try for something that could be so much better.

It brings us back to the earth and ook upon the footprints we make and wonder if we can be as thoughtful as a Hazel, devoted as a Big Wig, clever as a Blackberry or weary as a Fiver.

To a great writer, inspiring countless.
