FREEDOM!!! Frog escapes snake's stomach.....

So this morning, on my Facebook page, there was a video posted from a friend of mine. The title said, "Frog escapes snake's stomach"...and he wrote on the caption, "As my football coaches would always say, "Never ever give up!" Got to give it to the frog for fighting back!"

So...my interest was peaked....
I clicked on the play button. OH MY GOSH! My stomach was SO upset.....surely this stupid snake is not eating the frog alive?!?!

OK....point 1
I HATE SNAKES! HATE. LOATHE. DETEST. ABHORE. REVULSED BY. (If I wasn't so lazy I would find other words online that say HATE, but I will stop there for now)
This video made me hate snakes even more. If I ever see snakes...they die! I don't care that, "it is good for the garden"...blah, blah, blah....If I see them, they die. AND...if I can torture them to have a cruel, ugly death, the better....

WOW! You are getting to see another side of me! Listen, I love animals...there are very few that make Lizzie's most hated list...but if they are...they die.

Anyway, I digress...
I am watching this video and I have a pit in my stomach because I can't even imagine the hopelessness this frog feels. (if they feel at all, don't know if frogs have souls?!) But he is sitting there for like seven minutes slowly being eaten by this snake.....WHAT THE?!?!? SO...ugg....

Anyway, I can't watch, so I move the tab up so I don't have to, because I know the ending of this video...the frog will survive, so I want to see how this happens. the snake is spooked by the dude behind the camera...Thank you camera dude, I think you saved this frog's life! Although, had it been me, I would have already taken a flat shovel and diced the snake up, NOT gotten my camera....

Anyway, the snake goes into the water and that is where you see the little frog start using his arms to try and escape. In the water, he finds his freedom! Where the snake can't ground himself. The frog finds his freedom in his natural environment...in the place he was born and the place he probably finds the most comfort in.

(Yes, of course, you know, I have a thought to this...it isn't just some sick video)

I think we are like that. We, being humans. I believe that we can find our true freedom from attacks, enemies, addictions and so forth when we return to the place in which we were born(or RE-born)...the place in which we were created to live in...our natural habitat. Yes, I do believe that place can be a physical place, but I also believe that it can be a place that we come to in ourselves. In our spirits and our minds.

I think about how desperate I felt watching the frog in the grasp of this snake....it reminded me for a moment the times in my life that I have felt so hopeless...felt that I KNEW my spirit was dying and feeling there was nothing I could do....but then! THEN! In all the Glory that is this great life, a tragedy opened the door for a new opportunity...a chance to dive in to the place in which I was born, my natural environment, the place in which I felt most like me.

WOW! I am free.

This is my life. The place in which I was born...or RE-born. The place I was created to live in. This is the place in which I find my freedom.

I am grateful.
