Subject: Yes the owl thing is true, I read a few articles about it. When I first ran across the thing about the phosphorescence I knew I had to work it into the book somewhere. Scientists are pretty certain it's when they get sickly and a fungus grows on them. I think it's pretty rare to see it, but it's documented. :)
In reply to: bug 's message, "Ah, fall. I am glad it has cooled down for one. That opressive heat leaves. I feel the earth settling down to prepare for rest. She is breathing a sigh of relief. It is a time to harvest, not only roots and fruits, but spiritually. Reflection. 3--Yes, it was for them all I do believe. 4--The owl,,,, first of all CINDY. Is that really so, the owl thing you wrote there. I asked a couple of people I know, and they had not heard of that, but I wanted to ask you. The OWL. Thought of as a messeneger of death. An owl followed the Cherokee on the trail of tears, and was very loud and persistent, thus, became the death omen for them. Yes, I suspected something bad was gonna happen. I personally admire the owl, but most people see them for that, as an animal to fear." on 08:03:16 10/25/07 Thu

  • Bug, I hadn't heard that story about the owl and the Trail of Tears. It sorta makes it even more sad than it already is. Ethnic cleansing in our own backyards. Shameful. (NT) -- Elaine, 10:10:19 10/25/07 Thu
  • Yes, I just learned that a few months ago myself. A Cherokee man was telling me about different animals and birds and what they represent and why. Most sad truly. That is cool about the fungus glow Cindy. At least if I see it i'll recognize it for what it is. (NT) -- bug, 16:06:04 10/25/07 Thu
