Thanks again, Dru---I finally figured out the refrigerator sticker thing. I've only begun to explore the book's interesting and beautiful contents, but the design looks very user-friendly. Also had an extremely "real" dream of flying over cliffs last week, though I don't feel any more inclined to try it while awake. And last night was serenaded by a screech owl visible just above me in a maple tree as I walked past in the grey dusk.

Marvellous creatures, aren't they?<br />I went through a phase of flying dreams, Federay. They were so vivid and marvellous and liberating that I had a go while on a mountainside, just in case it turned out I really could. Fortunately, there wasn't a cliff below me...<br />I should imagine that french magpies and english magpies would end up barracking each other like football hooligans, Anji, but thanks for the offer!<br />I was talking with some wiccans, Angela, who had some very powerful spirit links with animals too, though I wasn't quite sure how it worked<br />I hope you like the book, Larry; and I'm sorry I haven't written to you lately.

It's very much in harmony with some of those scientific theories of multidimensional universes ect ect.<br /><br />A depressingly large number of people are completely insensitive to wildlife. For them, the environment simply contains 'birds', 'brown animals', 'flowers' and so on.
