Frogs, Snakes & Turtles
I have always loved Frogs for their miracle life story, as well as their songs ranging from the treefrog peepers to the lily pad croakers. Snakes both mythical and omnipresent, live in every farm and field, while representing everything from Temptation to Wisdom, depending on the culture. My communion with Snakes began when I put a boa constrictor around my neck to amuse Newark school children. I admire and respect snakes in all their variety and functions. I had a little Turtle who lived in a box when I was five. I have considered them friends ever since.
