"You have been now a long time in the deep, slow part of the river living. ;In that time strange inklings have shaped you: yr skin come transparent, little webblies between yr fingers & toes. You know what beings approach by the way the water blooms & reeks around you. ;Now the land life is strange to you, but as a frog you know both worlds & this is what makes you suited to the larger earth, & why you will survive vaster than the others. ;Put yr jellied feets on the silted banks & see the hoofed animals kneel before you."
- Baba Yaga, "Ask Baba Yaga: How Can I Create Stability?" (via)
