Rango: [Wounded Bird is scratching his down feathers and scattering them into the wind] I see you’re communicating with the great spirits.
Wounded Bird: No. I’m molting. It means I’m ready to mate.

— Rango

It’s amazing how many things I see on-line or on television about how spiritual and healthy practices from around the world are, but when you dig deeper, you find that things are done in a certain way for almost pure practicality, and the ‘great spirit’ part is thrown in to impress the tourists.  If anyone ever asks why I wear a tan cotton hat with an embroidered bear paw on it, it’s because the bear is my totem, and I want to commune with its spirit.  I won’t tell them that it’s because I got a good deal on-line for them, and my scalp burns easily.
