Found: Sierra Nevada Ensatina Platensis Salamander

A beautiful salamander with exquisite markings. I was moving some firewood for a client in Twain Harte, CA and lo and behold there were 5 of these beauties there.

Thankfully I didn't squish any of 'em, and took extra care to make sure their home wasn't damaged. It was a little more work but I didn't care because it made me feel happy knowing I did something to help nature, no matter how small the act was.

Check out my blog post with photos about the Salamander at… Continue

However, they are all grown up now and working, and Mark has a little boy named Kaleb. I thought perhaps you might know them, because your name sounds familiar to me. They live in Copper now, well Linda does, and I think John is still at home--everyone else has their own places. I used to live with them for a while from Sept. 2006 to July 2007. I see you are on the poetry page. I am going to contribute something to them after I send this to you. Let me know if you know them. Love and Peace, Dawn

to me; there it was, confronting me — a sky, air, light:
a being. And before it started to descend
from the height of noon, it leaned over
and struck my shoulder as if with
the flat of a sword, granting me
honor and a task. The day’s blow
rang out, metallic — or it was I, a bell awakened,
and what I heard was my whole self
saying and singing what it knew: I can.”
