I encountered God the
summer I was five. My father had finally grown too sick to get out of
bed, so the heat and nervous tension in the air inside the house made it
impossible to breathe. I would escape by squeezing under the front porch.
All manner of creatures lived there, but I mostly ignored them, with one
exception — a little frog who, every time I crawled (爬行) under the porch, stared at me with great, golden eyes.
In late June, the frog finally
hopped (跳跃)
toward my arm and stared at me, demanding eye contact. Once he had my
attention, he opened his wide mouth and said, "Hello, Sophie."
I should have been shocked, but
for some reason, I wasn't. Perhaps at five years old, I was more receptive to
something against the laws of nature. At any rate, I was not shocked
that a frog could speak. I had a more pressing question.
"How do you know my
name?"
The frog blinked slowly.
"I know everything. I am God."
I spoke, "You can't be
God. You're too small."
He extended a long, webbed
finger and was pointing to the edge of the porch's shadow — to the
spot where my mother had tried to grow flowers there for years. She had
stopped trying when my father's condition worsened.
"Look there,"
commanded the frog, and I stared as a beautiful white flower blossomed as if
stretching its limbs after a long sleep. In my five years, I had never seen
anything so splendid.
God and I became good friends
that summer. I spent every day under the porch, talking to him.
Sometimes I asked God
questions. Sometimes he answered. Once, I asked him where Heavenwas.
"Heaven," he said,
"is where I live."
In August, my father's illness
had progressed to the point that I was sent to my aunt's house in Virginia.
I told God I would be back soon, and then waited in Virginia for my father to
get better.
