I spotted something on Facebook the other day that was funny, disturbing, and profoundly inspiring all at the same time. Excerpted from a Patreon post from Ursula Vernon -- original at https://www.patreon.com/posts/light-at-end-of-91410900
And yes, I did look it up... and it appears to fact check
"There is a species of water beetle that regularly gets swallowed whole by frogs. And while there’s a lot of things you can do to keep from being eaten, once you’re inside a frog, your options are severely limited. Generally you get digested. But this particular species of beetle said “You know, I bet there’s another way.” And it started walking. In fact, it walked through the frog’s digestive tract and out the back end.
This is 100% true, you can look it up. 19 out of 20 of these beetles will simply walk out of the frog, unharmed. It usually takes them about an hour, although one beetle speed-ran the frog in five minutes, which I’m sure was very exciting for the frog.
The moral of this story, if there is one, is that no matter how dark the situation, there is always a way through. And there’s always a light at the end of the frog."

I saw the video of the beetle exiting the frog G.I. tract too recently. It left me more afraid of beetles than ever. Hubby is an amateur mycologist and I'm a bug hater mostly. LOL.

So if you can walk, never stop walking! Walk, walk, walk, to the light at the end of whatever tough spot you’re in! Thanks for the story, writingwyo. Just read it out loud to me son and he loved it, too!

debra -- that was my feeling! Morticia -- I think I'd be totally traumatized if I saw that video. Reading about it was enough for me 😳

Leah -- my initial reaction, too 😂 Agnes -- yes! I'm at a just keep walking spot in my life right now, and every day I keep promising myself there's a light at the end of the frog 🐸
