I would either like to be a bird or a dolphin. I would like to explore the areas
I cannot explore due to my limitations as a human being. |

You can rent some underwater housing to explore sea, or get some charter to
browse the air haha
However its hard to explore areas where fly can get into LOL |

Humans have visited the deepest part of the ocean and gone as far as space
although we have not physically gotten to outer space yet. Heck, humans have
never left the sun's atmosphere although there are plans to do so within the
next twenty years. Remotely, of course, the Voyager craft recently entered outer
space.
Humans have swam deeper (without a submarine or bathyscaphe) than dolphins can
and can even breathe liquids which dolphins cannot. Man has flown without the
protection of an aircraft hull higher than any bird ever could.
What animal would I be? Considering that man is the only animal that does not
have to look over his shoulder ever moment to make certain that nothing is
nearby that will eat him, making a choice to be something as perilous as a wild
animal for a day is a difficult one for me. I have never really envied the
position of any animal I have met.
There is an old island calypso that wonders the same thing as you do, Tim. The
song is called "King Bed Bug the First".
The lyrics go:
They say that when you die
You come back as an insect
or an animal.
And if this thing is true
Make me a bed bug fr my life a new.
Cause I gon bite them young ladies harder
Than a hot dog or a hamburger.
....And then the song gets a bit raunchier as he describes in cleverly worded
lyrics exactly where on the body and how he will be biting the young ladies.
Ahem....
Well, if I have to choose...for one day let me be a Pelican. Large enough as an
adult not to be prey for anything except sharks, they soar as high as eagles do
and dive from tremendous heights at incredible speed and with deadly accuracy.
With a six foot wingspan, they can soars for hours on the breeze. They are
solitary ad social depending upon their mood and are incredibly coordinated when
flying or hunting in groups. I have seen the brown pelican hunting alone or in
flocks of hundreds. When a school of fish is sighted, there is nothing in the
world like watching hundreds of pelicans stop on a dime in mid-air, wheel around
as one, stoop into a dive and hit the water simultaneously with a sound like a
thunderclap, each only mere inches away from the other and each coming up with a
full bill-full of food. Amazing creatures! Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should  |

folks still have to look over their shoulder. There is nothing quite as
stimulating as seeing a tiger's big pug (paw print) in the sand of a dry stream
bed, the edges still falling in meaning that it had just passed before we saw
the print. There were two of us Florida boys hiking across the Himalayan
foothills, and neither of us had more than a knife and a stick and we were in
the perfect spot to be ambushed.
The old rule is "look both ways at once." Some people in areas of India where
tigers are very aggressive wear masks with wide staring eyes on the back of
their heads to fool the tigers. Either the tiger wasn't hungry that day or the
two of us were enough to spook him off. Or perhaps we just didn't look like the
sort of prey he usually sought.
Regarding reincarnation as a lower life form--if ultimate salvation is making it
through a series of lifespans without accruing karma that prohibits moksha, then
being an insect is as good a way as any. Short life span--sometimes gauged in
minutes--and since a bug does what a bug does without ulterior motive--no
negative karma.
While man is not the only animal that feels guilt or covets--man is the only
animal that can decide for itself to become free of causing harm or having
desire, thus being the only animal that can acquire bad karma by not becoming
free of those things.If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try! |

Then I could just leap into the air & fly away anytime I like instead of waiting
around airports for hours on flights! |
