Description of the Image
In the foreground, a fleeing hare is seen. It dashes past stones and trees, disappearing under branches. Its legs flicker above the ground, its veins filled with the rapid flow of adrenaline - a red, vibrant pulse of blood sensed by its pursuers. It drives them to frenzy as they race after this elusive and barely perceptible streak. They compete with each other, nearly climbing over one another in their pursuit, leaping from top to top of the wands, wildly rushing through the air. Every man for himself!
Chaotic Struggle
Through the battle of the mottled fiery beasts, it charges ahead. They do everything they can to hinder it, almost as if for the sheer pleasure of conflict. It feels like swimming against the flow of a powerful wave. Exhaustion burns muscles and lungs. During this time, an inner voice whispers, 'Just don't resist. Let the wave of struggle cover you and pass by.' But no, doing so would mean being trampled by the onslaught. It hesitates not. It feels its own pulse quicken from the excitement of this struggle. It's a difficult battle with living obstacles to overcome.
Achieving Heights
It somewhat feels like the hare, striving with all its might to break through, to reach its Heavens.
Meaning
