Message from the Bem-te-vi Gods

[dotinthesky]

The Bem-te-vi tried again to get into my bedroom this morning. Twice.

I woke up from achy dreams to the singing on the balcony and tapping on the glass window. This went on for 10 minutes. Finally, I got out of bed, pissed off at the little bugger, and pulled the curtains open. Once again it flew into the trees. I went back to bed and tried to sleep but half-an-hour later it was back and doing it's schtick again. This time it got bored after a few tries and returned to the trees.

Question: why does this bird want to get into my bedroom so badly? For these past two weeks, I've been leaving all my windows and the balcony door open during the day. It has plenty of chances to wander around my room, poo on the bedsheats... it could even peck my eyes out during one of my afternoon naps. But no! The little devil has to come into the room when all the curtains are drawn and I'm asleep.

In classical times, some cultures considered birds the messengers of gods. Question: is the little Bem-te-vi trying to tell me something? Should I not catch that plane on Tuesday?

If somethings happens to you after all the bird wannabesigns I will let the WORLD know.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

And if you visit a medium, I'll let you know what's it like on the other side.

[suede.livejournal.com]

That would be really nice from you.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

We should have a codeword, so you'll know that it's really me... any suggestions?

[suede.livejournal.com]

Sure...

You will say: "In that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola"
And I will say: "Fine"

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Haha! Good one.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Then you haven't lived yet.

[roguejournal.livejournal.com]

that's just a little silly bird who is secretly in love with you!!!!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Have you ever seen the movie The Birds? That's what happens when birds "fall in love" with you.

[roguejournal.livejournal.com]

Que povo chato...

é impressionante como temos uma linha de raciocínio parecida... talvez não é que você não deva pegar o avião, acho que não é isso. pode parecer estranho, mas você já tentou seguir o bem-te-vi após a saída dele? ele sempre vai para as árvores quando você abre as cortinas e se mostra. afinal, qual a melhor maneira dele chamar sua atenção se não fosse nessas horas? você acha que ele chamaria tanta atenção se tivesse entrado no seu quarto quando tudo estivesse aberto?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Entao... ele tentou entrar de novo hoje!!! E quando eu puxo as cortinas ele voa pra arvore em frente da minha janela. Talvez tem um tesouro enterrado la?!?!

[hunterjr.livejournal.com]

go get the treasure Ollie! ^_^
espero que seja um tesouro e não um esqueleto enterrado x_x

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Epa! Vira essa boca pra la! >_

[hunterjr.livejournal.com]

ah! porque a preocupação? rs
não leve a mal, mas você sabe que isso é possível nesses lugares que são mais afastados do centro da cidade. mas é óbvio que eu não desejo isso para você! =P

have you read the wind-up bird chronicle (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0679775439/qid=1113230198/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/104-7258740-7945538?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)? in it, there's a fairly pivotal scene involving a bird in a tree outside a boy's window...

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I read it! I love that book... but I'm not recalling that scene. Refresh my memory? :)

[tsaritsa.livejournal.com]

it's when the book flips over into the third part - just before toru buys the miyawaki house with the help of cinnamon and nutmeg. the boy hears the bird in the tree in the middle of the night, wakes up, and sees two men standing below the tree. the smaller man climbs the tree and never returns. the tall man buries a box beneath the tree.

It has a lot of heavy symbolism that I never understood. still, it's one of my most favorite books ever. :)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I cannot recall that scene at all!!! Are you sure it's from the Wind-up Bird Chronicle?

A Livejournal friend has suggested that the bird may be trying to get me to investigate the tree he flees too... maybe there's a treasure buried there!

[tsaritsa.livejournal.com]

oh man, definitely sure - the number of times I've read and re-read that book is kind of scary. I usually read it two or three times a year! It's only one chapter, and it's a dream sequence...

I bet there is treasure! I think you need to go investigate! Or maybe there are eggs and he thinks you are trying to steal/hurt them?

I'm going to get back to the grind of emailing people about the pope. Booo.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Ah-ya! Good luck with the emails. I'll have to read that book again - I've only read it once and I do feel that there was so much still to be found within its pages. I think I'd probably get so much more out of it from a second reading.

The caretaker's wife brought up the possibility that the bird, when it sees the windows with the curtains closed, sees a reflection of the tree and itself... so it actually thinks its communicating with another bird! I went to the balcony, closed its windows and I could definetly see the tree reflected in the panes.
