Gosh who knows where these things wound up? Snakes, turtles, bears, owls. We must have set at least a dozen little animals free. Here's what I remember:
The DJ at the Barbary got a rat. My old friend Dave got a bear-cat. A couple who loaned us a lighter got something. I think we left a turtle out back on the porch there. Left a snake in the bathroom of Caprice. Left one at Cape Fear Beards and Weirdos hoping it will get to our turtle friend. I know there were more...
So much fun. And this is how it works: if you spend your whole night giving out spirit animals, take a cab home, and wake up having lost some of your keys and your wallet; the universe will put the keys in the gutter in front of your friend's house (and a memory in her head, and a little ray of sunlight on metal) and the wallet miraculously in the glove box of your car.
Thank you, Universe! Thank you, wolf friends who helped me and took pictures and are so funny (where are those pictures, by the way?)! And thank you, Barbary Coast!
Part community art project, part spiritual journey-- because beasts are everywhere, and we're all a little animal.
