changing perceptions

I think I've got something with animals.
Animals are rather much like humans (or homosapiens, if you'd like to be highly scientific) huh. God's speaking to me thru them now (very much like my monkey encounter).
Staying over @ Mom's - we went for an after-dinner walk at Upper Seletar Reservoir and...I saw 3 little baby frogs which were adorable! They were very lost tho. Mikki (my mom's dog) was 'playing' with the frogs while Mom was being a little bit more...bold I would say, placing her soles on the frogs' backs (consecutively, after each time the frog leaps a short distance). The baby frogs were alone, there were no signs of bigger frogs around. They looked stunned when we did what we did to them.
They're very much like us, kids, who are let off to go 'explore the world' because survival is key. We no longer hide ourselves in our parents' embrace, instead having to be daring and step out and discover new things. Yet what's most important is what's in our hearts. That our hearts still beat as one, still filled with that much love and care for one another. The only difference is - when we are to be independent (our parents let us be), that love and concern is expressed differently. You feel it, you no longer see it in their eyes (and actions).
Oh and plus, they believe they need to 'let you go' to be on your own in order to develop that security we (I) need.
I'll get over my insecurities.
