Thank you.
I've always felt drawn to bats. When I was small, I would draw pictures of bats and write about types of bats with a surprising amount of accuracy on facts I "just guessed". I helped raise money for my elementary school's gym and was given a book about bats as a prize, which is how I checked my facts some years later. (By the way, the thing I was best at in gym was pole vault, which was somewhat like human flying.) Once, as a child, I made a black bat costume by cutting up trash bags and thought it was the greatest thing ever.
There were and are other animals I loved, but I never stopped feeling in my heart that something was
right about feeling connected to bats specifically.
The characteristics of bats were things I could identify with, echolocation felt right, wings felt right, and so forth and so on. Yes, sleeping upside down felt right. While it isn't exactly upside down, I do sleep reverse of however the bed I'm in is facing. My husband is used to it... !
