It bugged me too but I think he might link the solidification of one's daemon with one's loss of innocence, and I would add one's loss of wonder. I will admit that while I continually change, I have yet to regain either my innocence or the type of fully absorbed wonder of a child. After spending the last few days with a 2-year-old, I am in awe of that child perspective that seeing everything about the world as new, explorable, full of possibility and devoid of fear. Perhaps I was never like that, but I definitely haven't revisited that space in a while. Think I'll try to schedule a trip. I love that your daemon is a bird. Soar! And I promise my feral cat won't try to eat you. Rebecca: I completely agree!

So here's the thing about His Dark Materials that struck me and stuck with me... the fact that as a child/maturing person their daemons changed because they were changing but once they were fully "matured"/settled then they were stuck with one daemon. And I thought that was so unfair. It doesn't seem right. I mean, I am so different from the person I was 10 yrs ago or even 5 yrs ago. That concept in the book bugged me. But since I read it (& I did LOVE it) I've given some thought to what my daemon might be... I think I might be some sort of bird. But if my life continues the way it's been going thus far - that will inevitably change at some point. Hang in there, feral cat. Remember that even feral cats need some love so don't hide out too much or you'll be denying yourself that basic human need.

I too have a relationship with my comfy pants. Only instead of yoga attire that might give some faint reminder to exercise, my too often worn uniform is lounge wear that looks like the Norwegian Curling Team's pants. Great post.
