When the Bullfrog Jumps in the Sun
This lyrical reflection draws on folklore to explore patience, timing, and community care. A bullfrog’s improbable leap becomes a metaphor for the rare alignments that make change possible: shared purpose, clear information, and courage. The essay links ecology to civic life, suggesting that attentiveness to place teaches restraint and responsibility. Readers are invited to consider how small rituals of neighbourliness sustain hope in uncertain seasons.
