Let me share a glimpse into a story I know about frogs…
Once upon a time, Grandmother told me
a story about frogs…
I was having some big stormy feelings,
and my thoughts were spinning out of control.
It felt so awful.
I thought maybe my head might blow off.
It was very confusing in my body.
And Grandmother was watching me…
After awhile,
Grandmother suggested frogs might help.
You see, frogs can sit very still;
quiet as they breathe in and out,
noticing the world around them.
Maybe, Grandmother was right.
So I gave it a try.
Noticing my breath in and then my breath out. Sitting as still as I could.
Resting quiet.
Passing clouds carried my worry thoughts away. My feelings started to shift,
like the changing weather.
Ummm…
That actually feels a bit better.
I’m calmer.
Thanks Grandmother.
That was a good story!
With gratitude to photographer Angi Wallace (United Kingdom) for the licensed frog photographs that helped bring this story to life.
I hope you enjoy exploring her beautiful work as much as I have.
