A stack of stones with frogs

Description

The story behind this collage is about a frog living in a stack of stone out there in my garden and in yours. I know it is there. Sometimes, when I lift a stone, I can see it jumping away or waiting and I haven’t seen it.

I know it lives there and that knowledge gives me faith. At the same time, when I lift a stone I am not expecting to see the frog. I am not disapointed when I don’t and I feel surprised when I do.

This is a metaphore for a lot of things in life to me. Do you feel the faith of things that are there but you are amazed by them whenever you see it or feel it. It gets you by surprise and then you are filled with gratitude. For life and for the living.

Love? Friendship? Health? The sun or the moon? Spring or snow?
