I am Dodo.  Once I lived as flesh.  I do not now.  My name is synonomous with extinction.

          I am Dodo.  Others, like Eagle, Ferret, and Bison, have chosen to teach mankind of its responsibility.  I chose to leave--to make a dramatic statement.

          I am Dodo.  "Extinction is forever."  This statement is true in the realm of flesh.  But not in the realm of Spirit.

          I am Dodo.  Others have returned.  Some return in an out-of-the-way place where someone can "happen" to find them.  Others have found it amusing to return in the sight of all as if they had been there always.

          I am Dodo.  It is not yet my time to return.  When the old Earth has passed away and the new has been created, then I will return to bless the new Earth with my presence in the flesh where once I was only spirit.

          I am Dodo.  Do not take my words as permission to kill.  But know that what the Creator has made--what is spirit--can never die.  What lived as flesh once can do so again.

          I am Dodo.  Spirit is forever.
