Reposting what just went up at the Orange Orb.<br />
<br />

Didn't mean to, it just came out that way. The ubiquitous aliens-in-the-bedroom drawing. Here's the original:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ct50UpT1hyw/VnnzOOHMkYI/AAAAAAAAKwU/Nwu0kCUUGtQ/s1600/visitors1reganlee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #f72701; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="268" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ct50UpT1hyw/VnnzOOHMkYI/AAAAAAAAKwU/Nwu0kCUUGtQ/s400/visitors1reganlee.jpg" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; background-color: black; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-left-radius: 0px; border-bottom-right-radius: 0px; border-top-left-radius: 0px; border-top-right-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(247, 1, 209); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />And then I played around with the color enhancement thingie and this felt right (as if there is anything "right" about this realm.)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-73CKrQMOTSo/VnnzfjSgfoI/AAAAAAAAKwc/pWMB8Lu365U/s1600/visitors%2B2reganlee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #f72701; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="278" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-73CKrQMOTSo/VnnzfjSgfoI/AAAAAAAAKwc/pWMB8Lu365U/s400/visitors%2B2reganlee.jpg" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; background-color: black; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-left-radius: 0px; border-bottom-right-radius: 0px; border-top-left-radius: 0px; border-top-right-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(247, 1, 209); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />We've seen these before; these drawings of faceless, ghost like beings peering down at us while we're asleep and unaware of the presences surrounding our beds.<br /><br />I've written before that I have memories of little "wolf like" (gray, short, jabbering) beings surrounding my bed when I was a child. Jim, my spouse, has had similar experiences. (<a href="http://binnallofamerica.com/tr7.30.7.html" style="color: #f72701; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><i>The Synchronicity of Puppet Wolves:</i> Binnall of America 2007)</a><br /><br />In looking at this sketch, I realize these entities are not all that short -- not the typical gray alien so commercialized and now a non-event in pop culture. The gray has replaced the little green man from mars as cartoon. Prevalent and used to promote all manners of entertainment. Yet there is one little guy (that's how I think of him, without thinking of him…)<br /><br />What does all this mean? I'm not to say. I don't know. This not knowing annoys some. As if, because I've had these experiences, I should somehow <i>know. </i>I wish to hell I <i>did</i> know. But I'm not a prophet. I have some theories that are in constant stages of movement. A dance, and all performers come together in one beautiful display but abruptly break apart, flowing back into an alleged chaos. I continue to research and speculate and explore with others their experiences, but I don't know. I guess. I dream. I draw. I manipulate the memories, hoping to evoke some truths out of what's hidden inside.<br /><br /><br /><div style="clear: both;">

<blockquote>Two stories about mermaids -- more accurately, humans who have chosen mimicking mermaid-ism as a "life style" choice --. caught my eye. One story concerns Eric Ducharme of Florida. Ducharme made the UK news. Mr. Ducharme :<br />
<br />
"...eats, sleeps and breathes mermaids while physically looking and acting like one as often as time allows.<br />
<br />
'It's a lifestyle.
