January 22, 2013 1:45pm I was born in Florida, and was only there until I was almost two. But the two creatures that I remember (and I have always been inclined to ornithology) are the Pelican and the Flamingo. Vague, dreamlike impressions of a faraway childhood, I am reminded of my life as a 1 1/2 year old when I behold this piece of yours...as though I have freshly emerged from the waters, un-self-conscious of my surroundings, yet knowing I have always been...this image is that dream, the dream of my "birth".
