Of course I know how amazing it is that life should believe I'm a frog able to jump with effortless ease over the hurdles placed on my track. How, oh how, to arise like a frog and land back like a human being sends an electrical pulse to the working part of a brain. Go to the light - oh, mammoth delight, the large and all-encompassing, but what makes you think I'm in the dark perceived as fiendishly evil? It doesn't make sense to birth a "me" and expect I transmute to a frog when I simply have to stay as I am, the light in my darkest sky. I am the light out there on the track over, beneath, and around so move the hurdles, yes, just try and I'm still over, beneath, around. Am I a frog, a "me", hurdle or am I plain and simply that all-encompassing light and a truly mammoth delight? Helen / 22 November 2010 |

 Thanks, everyone - and Eric, yes, there probably was a kiss ... by a hince (and isn't it great that we can interpret a word like that however we like).Helen |

"Of course I know how amazing it is that life should believe I'm a frog able to jump with effortless ease over the hurdles placed on my track” I like frogs, it would be terrific if we could hurdle lives challenges as easily as they clear an obstacle? jo |

word choice really brings to mind a frog (light, delight, etc). awesome use of literary devices here. |

Hi Jo - I'm generally not too fond of "jumping things" but it's time for me to be like a frog and jump from here to there - and I thought my packing days were over. Sigh! On the plus side I'll finally, for better or for worse, end up near the sea ... if I survive the time in between. Helen |

Jo - I just wish that "somebody" wouldn't lead me through such chaos to get me where I have to be but I do know that without the chaos it wouldn't happen. There won't be any turning back from this upcoming move. Still working through the details though. Love Helen |
