(cont’d.: the bank too—I hadn’t realized they were there…and looked even more closely to see a few of them began to move, grow tails, had developed into…were actually small tadpoles; I had seen only eggs!)
CREEK DIMPLES
Ripples on the surface of the water were caused by tadpoles?! I've seen fish breaching, but these were tadpoles! They would swim up to the surface, take big gulps, then dive down again. The tadpoles were developing lungs, learning they would mature into frogs who lived by lungs and discovered a longing for air! Do we exhibit spiritual metamorphosis too, a desire for heavenly air, or are we content to live by gills in murky water forever?
