I love your description of the frog, with his similarity to Bodhidharma and his zazen posture.
I haven't seen any snakes close up for a long time, but once, years ago, a huge rat snake managed to get into the house somehow and curled up behind the refrigerator. It was late, 10 or 11 p.m. when one of my boys discovered his presence. Not knowing what else to do, I called Animal Control. There was only one guy on duty, but he left his post and came to our house. After capturing the snake and putting it in a carry crate, he told us that he wasn't really supposed to, but that he planned on releasing it in the desert. We were glad to imagine that, although we couldn't give this particular visitor a permanent home, he would have the opportunity to find one better suited to him.
