WHEN THERE IS NO CHOICE, JUMP HIGHER    [W, 5-20-20]

I heard the story of a frog who got stuck in a deep rut in the road. He jumped and jumped but couldn’t get out. A friend frog came along and asked why he was still in the rut. “I can’t jump high enough to get out,” he said. “Well, jump higher,” his friend helpfully said.” It’s time to go to coffee.” He tried and tried. Still no luck. So his friend went on down to the coffee ship without him.

In a little while, the frog showed up at the coffee shop. His friend said, “How did you get out of that rut? I thought you couldn’t jump high enough.”

“I thought so, too,” said the frog, “but a truck came along in that rut and I didn’t have any choice.”

A big pandemic truck has come along. No choice, folks, but to get out of our ruts. No, those ruts won’t be there later, so no chance to go back to “normal,” and that’s okay. Let’s start telling the stories right now that we’ll share when we meet later at the froggy coffee shop.
