I’m thinking about frogs. Writing to you now the night has closed in and the frogs are singing. Over the layers of their songs is the low hunting call of the mopoke. I’ve taken to my bed. My back, its lingering malaise, has flared (for no apparent reason) with an intensity that has closed down my world. To be still is something I find hard. Something I rarely am. I have learned to think and feel in movement and instead, this week I have been forced to be quiet. The experience has not been comfortable.
Firstly I am so sorry to hear you are in pain. Pain is ghastly.
On a brighter note, I loved your observation on Frogs. I knew of this little frog but no one has ever written it up so profoundly and in such a magnificent way. Isn’t Nature phenomenal? She often makes me feel quite pathetic.
My frogs really struck up the orchestra last night as rain came in. Ants went ballistic in my garden a few days ago and the frogs starting warming up a day or two ago. Last night the heavens opened. Wondrous how they know and the BOM with all their gadgets can get it so wrong.
Hope you’re on the mend. Thank you for our SitSpots and reading tips. X
so many interesting things here. i must read helen garner's book. i have the other two diaries (and most of her others) - she is a wonder. i have been dealing with a broken rib for months and my muscles have seized up and won't let go so i am trying to get them to remember to let go! hope you feel better soon. love the poem.
