The power animal for September is the chameleon....Subtle shifts in physiology, emotions, climate and camouflage-needs can cause the cells of this sensitive-skinned reptilian to alter pigmentation. It is both a joy and an amazement to see them turn from brown to green, yellow to blue and back again...he proves that our bodies are inextricably bound to our emotions and environment...
Chameleons are also extraordinary seers: their cone-shaped eyes glance in different directions at the same time. This gives them...the ability to know what is coming at them from all directions, and to “see out the back of their heads." As Animal Guide, Chameleons leads us to accept our own abilities to track the movements of others intuitively, and teaches us to improve our own vast but usually untapped powers of perception.

I wonder if chameleons get less chameleon-like as they age. I was a cracker-jack chameleon for most of my life through my mid to late 30's. Now at 48 I find I try to fit in less, change myself less for other people and circumstances and am generally more "visible". I always felt a kinship with those little guys. I wonder if they are aging like me?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the aging ones are just more discriminate about what color to turn when. :)
