Today I made friends with this fellow:
... the anolis corolinensis. I was embroiled in reading of the celebrated 19th century medium Daniel Dunglas Home ("...a luminous vapour gathered above the table, and, as they watched, slowly formed itself into a child's hand... the room shook, the crystal pendants of the chandelier clashed together; the Empress's lace handkerchief climbed into space...") when I noticed a flash of pink out of the corner of my eye. At first I thought it was a leaf with a pink-ish underbelly flapping in the breeze... as I watched it formed itself into a small lizard that was extending and retracting a sac beneath its head. The way it moved (positively cat-like), the thoughtful movements of its head, the way its eye followed me struck me as much more sentient, more knowing then other reptiles I have encountered. We had an understanding, dig?
