To the Bushmen the morning star is the "Foot of the Day". He hunts through the night, the stars are his dogs. If you stand out in the bush at night and listen you can hear him crying "Tsa!  Tsa!" to the dogs as they chase across the sky. You should never give a dog a name with a strong 's' sound in it as they remember the morning star's cry and will look to see what they should chase every time they hear it.

At this time of year the Florida waters turn cold and the manatees gather round the springs that come up from the aquifers that underly the Florida landscape. I wonder, what do they hear? What language do they speak? How do we listen to what they have to say?
