Poem
I’m so happy you could all come out to walk these woods today, it’s important that we commune with nature and hear what she might say. For the trees must be our brothers, and the animals, sisters dear, we must from them try to learn to touch the Earth free of man’s fear. There are those who say beating down the mountains are what they're for, but we shall show them that wilderness is so very, very much more. There is a great peace and a spirit, open to all who dare to see, I hope it speaks to all of you the way that it speaks to me. It is just a quarter-mile further, and then we will be there, a play to reflect and mediate— Holy crap! It’s a bear! Help! Noooo—shoot it! Friggin' shoot it— Ahhhh!!!! …Park Rangers today shot and killed the rogue black bear involved in the near-fatal mauling of a noted environmental activist last Thursday… I’m so happy you could all come out to trek through the wilds today. You have all you side-arms ready, and for safety, you bear-mace? It’s important that we see nature for what it will always be, a place of beauty to appreciate, but one where danger is lurking. Your fellow hiker is your bother, and on each other we must rely, cause there are a million things out here that can easily make you die. Profound as all of this may seem, recall that here there are no laws, and plenty of things ready to pull you down with iron jaws. Nature is no religious thing, it is a scene we’ve long escaped, and though it seems rejuvenating, please don’t make the mistake of thinking you can be truly free of Darwin’s rules at work, they care not it you’re virtuous, or an absolute, utter jerk. But if you want to go onward, I will gladly take you there, though I’ve got only one eye left, so kindly watch for bears. …I hate those damn beasts.
