twosleepy I’ve been told that one may have many totems at the same time and that they may change over the course of a lifetime. A barred owl may or may not be my totem. Some say it is. That’s fine with me. Many years ago, I moved to a wooded area, but I grew up in the New York City suburbs and these things were not part of my culture, although I’ve always liked owls. When I was very young, an owl would occasionally perch on our chimney. We were thrilled and amused by the beauty and volume of the hooing that reverberated into the living room.

Helen I love that movie. As you know, hippos are very graceful swimmers.

zmjezhd I’m rooting for the trilobite, (and the Celtics).

Thanks everyone. I was able to finish my little piece with your help.
