what does the cicada mean to me? they have been singing to me for 57 years. their music is the music of my unconscious now, and when they come back, of my conscious. i think of them almost thoughtlessly. 
the cicada hereabouts is called the dogday cicada and the magicicada. most of their lives are spent underground as nymphs feeding on root juice. they symbolize longevity and rebirth, and they speak to individuals directly, as spirit guides, they aid development, recognition and emergence of the self.
for me they sing memory.
