trevor and his bag of frogs

As we wandered round the streets of Hampton, we bumped into a man named Trevor on a bicycle with a bag of frogs and a rather refreshing outlook on life. He spoke words that made me think, words that i found inspiring and i couldn't help but smile. Although from my description he may sound rather odd, he wasn't odd, well his optimism may come across as odd in a world that seems to have lost hope and faith. I myself don't know what i believe in anymore religion wise. Living in a world where I'm surrounded by 'god free youth' and upside down crosses, makes me sometimes question if God is real, so many people expressing their atheist views makes you start to lose the little faith you have left. And living in a world where every day so many people die due to conflict caused by religion, people fighting for their god, against your god, to please a god, you start to wonder if you really want to believe in religion if it has such devastating consequences. But back to my story, as you may have gathered from reading some of my posts I'm a believer in luck, and i try my best to avoid attracting bad luck. So when we saw Trevor bike across 3 drains we instantly warned him of what he'd done, this to you may sound stupid however Nina and I take it seriously. Trevor stopped his bicycle, turned around to us and said words that made me question what i believe, it went something like this "I'm a man who believes in God, I put all my trust and faith into the alpha the omega, the see all and know all, do you think he'd let a few drains hurt me?" These words opened my eyes, I'm still not sure what i believe, but it made me happy to think that someone had so much faith and hope for something that so many people are so derogatory about, something so many people feel the need to cuss. It wasn't just Trevor's optimism that surprised me, after talking to us for a while he took a Tesco's carrier bag off his bicycle and revealed the contents to us. There were two green frogs sat there looking up at us, he had been moving them off the damp road so they didn't get hit by cars, then releasing them into the lake. Such faith, optimism and compassion is admirable in my eyes. And As Trevor cycled off, the cross around his neck swung from side to side, the lights he'd placed on his hat light up the path ahead and I stood in awe of the man I'd just met.
