Creature in Green

Faith in a Creature
By Sheila R. Rose

Last Friday, I noticed a big, green cricket starting at me from the adjoining wall outside my front door.

I couldn’t help but to smile when I saw this peaceful creature looking intently at me without making a move. I walked away feeling like maybe something bigger than I can possibly imagine was looking out for me.

Both yesterday and today, I noticed the cricket once again. “Hello, Jiminy!” I said as I walked out my door. Jiminy and I are forming a rare kind of bond. I am beginning to look forward to our daily encounters.

A certain familiar quote stirs in me as I walk away from my new green friend, “When your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme.” Jiminy Cricket.
