I have heard that a certain Japanese guy, awakening from a dream where he roamed around as a butterfly, started asking himself whether he was the man that just dreamt to be a butterfly, of a butterfly presently dreaming to be a man.

Now, I doubt whether the rains have brought the frogs to our place -- a wonderful rain after months of drought -- or the frogs (a toad?) brought the rains.
I am happy I got this n*I*cE Pre-Columbian (Tairona?) carnelian bead from a Fourmite friend, by barter, in February, 2008. Recent thunder awoke it from a years long sleep -- to unexpectedly turn into a tamed, harnessed frog (toad?).
