the missing frogs
aug. 1, 2009
i love water, the sound of it, swimming in it, how it reflects the sun and the ripples it makes. i was out in the pool with Sue, the other afternoon, enjoying water and finally getting in it because it hasn’t been so sunny this summer. there were no frogs in the pool. i guess they were as reticent as we were to come out into the pool water when it wasn’t so warm…
i missed my frog friends. every summer, we saw them in the water with us. i wondered where they went. were they okay? why didn’t they come back? later or friday, i went to pick up my Mothers’ prescription and there was a whole display of plush toy animals. one was a one foot long kiwi green frog. i thought, “i will buy this guy to remind me of our intention to get the frogs back.” it’s pretty boring to be in the pool without frogs after all these years. i put the frog guy in my office on the oak table. twenty four hours later, i am in the pool with Joan. she sees a miniscule guy smaller than your fingernail. he is a brown frog with a black mask over his eyes. you need a magnifying glass to really see him but there he is.. alive in the pool. there comes another guy five times his size. so, hey, there are two frog guys back in the pool. where did they come from? i don’t know.
i am swimming around in the water, having a glad time. so are they, both of them are riding on my surfboards. i am happy to see them. maybe they are happy to see me too.
they sit on my hand, unafraid.
we are back in order here. this is as it should be. getting out of the pool, there is the piece of granite i put on the steps for frogs to be welcomed to a thursday when there weren’t any.
now, two more unobtrusive frog guys are sunning themselves happily. that means four frogs found their way to the pool, after i put up a perch for them and a symbol of my intention in the office. yes. that’s how it works to intend something. get a partner who agrees it could be so.. take action to prepare for that result .. expect it to happen.. act as if it will happen…
place some symbol to remind yourself of the intention…
be grateful before it happens.. .and rejoice when it happens.
