The Jade Frog
Hopping Around The Astral Plane
Eyes closed
I saw her again
in the dream realm
:
At a bustling market
there she was
:
An old woman
Thick gray frazzled hair
A brilliant smile upon a
sunken brown leather face
:
Deep starlit eyes
glittering with love
as I smiled at her
:
She offered
finger sized figurines
carved from stone
:
Some of my favorite animals
under my fingers
:
Elephants
Birds
Dragons
:
But she said
"This one is for you." 🐸
:
Her arthritic hands held
a jade frog
carved to perfection
:
She offered me this frog
many times before
when visiting this realm
:
I appreciated its beauty
but never took the stone
:
Every time before
I walked away empty handed
and my dreams took a turn for the worse
:
But this time I held the jade frog
in my palms and knew it was mine
I felt its energy surging through my hands
:
Cool, seasonal waters
Warm sunshine
green
orange
and purple
:
It reminded me of
the highlights of my childhood
watching tadpoles grow to frogs
in the spring ponds
of the desert floor
when the poppies are in bloom
:
Catching frogs
with friends
until the sun went down
:
I felt joy, peace, love
a change of pace
:
Life birthed upon
death of my old ways
:
She smiled at me
and said joyfully
"This is your path, and you are ready to take it."
:
We shared a moment
of destiny carved by faith
:
Then the market
all its booths
all its wares
all its people
slowly faded
:
Only to awaken
to this realm
where the jade frog
wasn't with me physically
:
But I could still feel its energy
hopping around me
through the astral planes
:
The dream of a frog is rather rare
but I had it repeatedly
:
Until I chose to accept it's offering
of love, transformation, and healing
