and visited the incredible beauty of the reefs, seeing for themselves the remarkable abundance and amazing variety of life. I guarantee you all that if you haven’t done this, until you do, you cannot be complete. If we could remove from the barrios and slums, all the terrible tattooed gang bangers early enough, taking them to the sea and the natural world, teaching them what is all about…reaching them on some basic human level, perhaps…. yes, perhaps……?
From tiny insects to great whales, elephants and all in between, the remarkable diversity astounds. Why do we take kids to petting zoos where tiny hands can feel a sheep’s wool, the coarseness of the hair on the back of a deer? What pleasure to wander our forests, hearing the calls and songs of many birds, trying to identify them, to see their varied colors and plumage, to wonder at the agility of the squirrel as he scurries along high branches with such grace and assurance.
What we get from experiencing and knowing nature and allowing her to know us is the joy of comprehension, where within us we finally hear the wild song of life. Once exposed, this music shapes us as nothing can…..no living thing is immune to this call of freedom……and none of us should allow one more day to separate us from our ‘real world’ ……. Take you kids, pack up, now……go!
