I am back online - finally.

Give me a couple days or so to catch up on everything - and I'll see what I can contribute

Hey Moon... Not sure if this info warrants an entire discussion, or if it fits with your brother the wolf....

Amemasu (アメマス) or Ō-amemasu (大アメマス) is a giant whale- or fish-like creature from Ainu folklore. It lives in Lake Mashu in Hokkaidō and capsizes boats, creates earthquakes and causes other disasters.

In one tale, the amemasu swallows a deer that has come down to the lake to drink, but the deer's antler tears open the great fish's belly and kills it. The amemasu's enormous corpse then blocks up the lake and puts it in danger of flooding. A god in the form of a bird warns the people in villages nearby. The villagers upstream escape to higher ground, but the people downstream, not believing the bird, find the amemasu's body and drag it out of the lake, after which the water comes rushing out with such force that everything downriver is washed away. That area is now the flat Konsengen'ya plain.

Amemasu is also a name given to the white-spotted char, Salvelinus leucomaenis leucomaenis

This is the situation of all human beings. We are brought up in such a way that we only belive that we are free, but we are not. While nations exist, no man is really free. While politicians go on dominating humanity, the world will remain in slavery. They go on persuading you that you are free. You are not. A mind cannot be free.Freedom means freedom from the mind ; only a no-mind knows the taste of freedom. But to be a no-mind is so risky ; you will have to lose all that you have become accustomed, all that you have become so attached. All your possessions are contained in your mind ; your philosophies, your religions, your concepts, your theories - all are contained in your mind...
