Walden Pond in November www.trekearth.com |
Drifting for a week down the Concord and Merrimack Rivers
I trailed my fingers in Civil Disobedience,
lingered a month on the banks of Walden Pond
just long enough to transcend
from awkward adolescent into endless possibilities.

fingers dancing into primate thinking,
and my enchantment with
Words, Mind and Spirit
coalesced.
Jane Goodall www.ngm.nationalgeographic.com |
My heroes slept under star-strewn skies,
witnesses
of Nature and Life,
Tools and Language,
Thought and Reason
diligently uncovering
commonalities.
Observers
who took me from the pond’s edge
Through Gombe
Until I found my place in the Universe.
