{My Friend Toad}[c. October 1970]


[Redbook1:179C][197010c.]{My Friend Toad}[c. October 1970]


            “My friend Toad lives under a stone too; but he and his Stone stay put and watch the world go past.  It's a quiet life and a happy one, and as Toad watches us he thanks God for insects and his Stone.  He laughs at the petty bustle of our frantic days; he rejoices in his own changeless meditation.  Poor Toad!  He feels so smug, so detached; he doesn't realise that one day the police will come to him too, and he'll be Toad away.”
