My son’s unit in Iraq adopted a fox as a pet when it became entangled in their security fence. The animal had naturally been attracted to their garbage and was doing what foxes do naturally, finds its way around an obstacle and taking advantage of an opportunity. Too often, when a stumbling block comes between us and our dream, we stop.
The fox also seized an opportunity when service members hungry for contact with missing pets insisted on feeding and cosseting the creature. When the fox was finally ready to run again, it stayed. There’s a reason a fox’s intelligence earns a mention even in children’s books.
Probably what foxes are best known for is being sly. Often the creature is accused of being a trickster because it uses the cover of darkness to locate its prey. The appearance of a fox in your life could a mean someone is trying to deceive or trick you.
My interactions with live foxes have been benign. I’ve spotted one watching me at a distance deciding if I was the one who posed a threat. One of the fox’s gifts is discernment.
Even though the fox stayed motionless while it determined if I were a threat, it was still ready to leap into action if needed. This is a reminder to us to be ready to surge forward when an opening happens.
The fox can be active during the day, but it is most active at night. Perhaps, you are a night person who does his best work after sunset.
