Hello Toad!

Oh, Toads!

They sing, they swim, they burrow into the desert soil and emerge with the monsoon rains. Magical. 

And there’s more to their magic, too. See that glossy sheen? Native Americans (and other adventurous sorts) lick that shiny slime in an effort to experience it’s hallucinogenic properties.

Risk-averse as I am, I’ve never indulged, but it’s curious, isn’t it?

What would you do?

Open Eyes, Open Mind, Open Heart

 

Vow to release the old, rigid ways 

They hinder each step of the journey. 

Open to options, to love and forays 

Don’t let judgment inhibit the glory. 

Eyes wide open 

See what is real 

Eternal, soul-building, enduring. 

Consider, think, choose 

How to fit in those scenes 

Witness? Player? 

Defensive? 

Alluring? 

Then open up.

Prepared

For the ride of your life.
