this morning i caught my neighbour's cat stalking a red-back salamander. the first i have ever seen in california, he was sluggish in the chilly morning so i scooted him into the brush in the hope he would not get eaten.i used to play with these guys in the brook by my house as a kid, but not only have i never seen one in cali, but the web tells me they are not found west of missouri.
so either it was an escaped "pet" or a fluke sighting. lost? two thousand miles worth of lost??
i looked up salamander as a totem.
"The appearance of a Salamander totem heralds transformation,
but offers assistance with this change from somewhere outside of ourselves,
either through an unexpected person or unique resource.
This assistance is temporary and will stay only as long as needed.
Harmony with the environment is very important to people with a Salamander totem.
It is key to a successful transformation –
answers and solutions will be found in the environment around us"
i have just been listening to and reading drunvalo melchizedek's messages from the maya, so the synchronicity of this sighting is striking a major chord for me...
