  • The Multiverse as Frogs

    We live on an abundant planet, a small reflection of the multiplicity in the universe, which is a small reflection of richness of True Nature. With our limited attention, time and resources, it seems impossible to “know” everything or satisfy our childlike curiosity.

    We need look no further than the family of frogs to realize how small a piece of the richness we see, know and taste.

    Frogs multiverse

    • There are close to 4,000 known species of frogs, including toads. They range in size from less than half an inch to nearly a foot long and come in a rainbow of colors and patterns.
    • Frogs never drink. They absorb water from their surroundings by osmosis.
    • Frogs cannot swallow with their eyes open. A frog’s tongue is attached to the front of its mouth.
    • Wood Frogs are freeze tolerant and spend winters frozen on land, only to thaw in the spring and begin their breeding process in vernal ponds.
    • Frog bones form a new ring every year when the frog is hibernating, just like trees do. Scientists can count these rings to discover the age of the frog.
