The Frog

I learned last night that frogs have a special association with You. I thought maybe that was why that frog had been living here for three months.

I knew the frog would leave someday...one way or another. They weren't my frog. Not a pet. But I didn't expect to find their body today.

Three months. The day after I find out. Of course, You know how I see patterns.

I laid their body outside and said, "I appreciate the time you spent with me. I return your body to the Earth so that, even in death, you can be part of life."

I hope they had good things to tell You. I talked to them after rituals. I thanked them for being present. It seemed they had found a favorite plant to be near. I hope they were happy in these past three months.
