A Misunderstanding of the Land

 We Long to Sing

We sing in the forest, we sing on the Land

And we want you to understand, we sing for you, we sing for joy, we sing for life itself

Yes, my dears we the Frog People want to make it perfectly clear, we have been here for a long time

We long to sing when the time is right

And we are about to strike, when the time is right

We wait for the correct moments, we wait for the correct weather

And at that time, we all get together

We sing in unison, for the joy of life

For it is with our continuation that we are able to sing

 

Time to Hustle

When singing occurs, the birds create a rustle

For they know it’s time to hustle

For when the singing occurs the birds observe carefully, waiting for the right time

Yes, my dears we the Frog People of the Land want you to understand, it’s all about timing, it’s all about grace

And we wait, and we watch, and we anticipate, for within the singing, a ringing goes out

 

Pattern

And that ringing follows a pattern and that ringing is part of a plan

For you to understand you would need to be beside us, you would need to be inside of us, for it is a complex matter

Part of the singing, is for the joy of the time

But part of the singing, is for us to be inclined to meet another of our kind

For we are the kind who would like to continue to exist

That way we can persist with the singing, we can persist with the song

 

Displacement

But many of you who belong in the spaces that we used to grace, don’t quite understand how our displacement has changed our numbers

For we used to be frequent, we used to be loud

But now there is a bit of a cloud over our species, a bit of a concern

For as we turn the page of time, your species is inclined to grow, as our species is inclined to show further depletion

 

Source of Habitat

What can you do

You can leave the wet areas all alone

For certain wet areas are meant to exist

And for us to persist we need them

 They are a source of our habitat, they are a source of our growth

 

In Control

You humans tend to like your land moist, but not to moist, dry but not to dry, clean but not too clean, green but not to green

We the Frogs of the Land want you to understand, we had it all under control before you decided being in control was your goal

We want you to understand, part of your understanding, part of your need to control the Land, is a misunderstanding of the Land

For the Land always had a sense of balance, always had a sense of control

Much went on behind the scenes, that you were not privy to

 

Make it So

But you being you, are the type of species that you consider if it does not stand out, if it is not obvious, you will make it so

And you are determined to ensure that certain species go, for those species are in your way, you sometimes say

For upon another day, you say you fear them, perhaps they’ll attack

Role to Play

We the Frogs of the Land want you to understand, each species on Earth has a role to play

And that role is part of the pattern

The pattern you say, what pattern are you talking about

We the Frogs of the Land want you to understand, we live on the Land, and we live on the Water

We live beneath the Land, we live on top

Therefore, we have brought with us much experience

So, you see, we see beyond thee, there is a pattern, it is deep

 

The Origin

Mother Earth is the origin, and you think she sleeps

There is no time for that, there is so much to do

So, if you are the type to think you see it all

Think again and then wait awhile, perhaps you’ll smile

For in a while, things will change

Be aware many of those changes take place ever, ever, ever so slowly

So, for the Sloth in you, just hang around a bit

And you will start to see, gradually

Things do change

 

Change

The change is vibrational, the change is deliberate

Yes, my dear we the Frogs of the Land want you to understand, each pattern, each vibration, was preplanned before you showed up

Do you understand, do you get the picture

 

Empty Picture

For although many of you look at the Earth and you see an empty picture, for nothing appears to be going on

Now for some of you who hear us when we sing, for some of you who hear us through our song, you are starting to belong to the Observers of the World

For as an Observer you can preserve that sound, know its meaning

And share it with another, or just declare what it is

For my dears we the Frog People of the Land want you to understand, it is in the sharing, it is in the declaring, that you open up the hearts and minds of others

For when you open up the hearts and minds of others, they too will discover the wonderment of Earth

 

Importance to the Land

For we the Frog People of the Land want you to understand, we have an important role to play

We are a food source to some, we consume large quantities of bugs

For some we are needed to help proceed on a medical front

For we carry with us certain toxins

For those of us who carry them they can be shared

We are here to declare our importance to the Land

 

Wet Spaces

For all of you need to understand a balance is needed

Think again when you choose to dry up all wet spaces

For your Land needs to be graced by us

Do you understand, we are part of the plan

We want you to understand, when our numbers are diminished, you are deeply affected

Now many of you will say, affected how, I don’t see it

We the Frogs of the Land want you to understand, we like all other species on the Land, have a role to play and without us playing that role, there is not another to step up to the plate

So, anticipate that

For all species have a role and so it is written

 

Oral Tradition

Before written language became a big deal, we are here to send through a squeal to you

And within this squeal, we are here to say, we have communicated with our species each and every day, we have communicated with other species each and every day

As in we say our peace, it’s our Oral Tradition

We have an understanding, we know our place

We do not choose to attempt to overwhelm another

For that is not our role

 

Survival Technique

The Drum is in our heart, the Drum is in our Soul

We make it our goal to listen to the heart, to listen to the Drum

For it is the heart that starts to wake up

And when we wake up and when we listen to the beat, we start to feel complete, we start to feel alive

It is a survival technique

 

Absolute Glee

Listen to the pitter patter, listen to our feet

We greet the rain with absolute glee

For we bask in the sunlight, we bask and feel free

When the raindrops come, we see the beginning

Sunshine rain it matters not

But we are brought into the forefront when the Earth warms up

 

Looking Everywhere

We hop, we wait, we anticipate

We swim within the grasses, we swim within the leaves

And we proceed with care looking everywhere

For we will declare, we realize we are a tasty treat

So, we complete our attention to all that is concerned

For we have learned the importance of patience, we have learned the importance of camouflage

 

Dinner for One

We like to blend in, we like to disappear, and then reappear, disappear

We do not want to be in clear sight

For otherwise we might be, dinner for one

 We may sing loud and clear, but my dear we also like to disappear

 

Drip, drip, drip, trickle

 

Spirit

The patterns of Mother Earth concern the Waters too

And these Waters are there for you, especially if you take great care

For within the Waters there is a Spirit

She calls out to you, through you

For she lives within you, she lives outside of you

 

Comes Back

And if you were to think that when the Water goes down the sink, it just disappears, no my dear it comes back

As you swallow the Water, as you wash in the Water, as you splash in the Water, as you release the Water, as you cry, as you try to cool off

Yes, my dears we the Frogs of the Land want you to understand, you are part and parcel of the Water

You cannot do without her at all

 

Precious Resource

She calls out to you

And says I am a precious resource as such

All I ask of you is to treat me that way

We the Frogs of the Land want you to understand, we are in sync with the Water, we are in sync with the Land

And we want you to understand, you too have a role to play

And most of all you need to understand, you too are part of the pattern on the Land and in the Water

You did not create the pattern, you are part of the pattern

 

Peace be with you
