Jane Goodall has prosopagnosia
Also called face blindness
She is unable to recognize faces
she acts like she recognizes everyone
In case she met you before
Interesting affliction for a world-famous anthropologist
Who studied chimpanzees and reported back
That they express facial expressions of emotions
Sadness, anger, frustration.
Is it only human faces she does not recognize?

Today’s blessing comes from Jane Goodall
words for all of us…all the other creatures…and for our planet’s sake:
What you do makes a difference
and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make

Watched a special, “Dr. Jane Goodall at a glimpse”
A gentle lady proved to the world how close we are to chimps
Dedicated to a solemn life chosen
A life of serenity and devotion
An amazing interaction that highlights a familiar imprint

Ms. Jane Goodall
A monkey kissed
The Snake was jealous
But he could only hiss

Now how can I propose this without
it coming out a cliché? I have been
watching something sensible about
Jane Goodall, a lady, it would seem
of such excellence that this old world
hardly deserves her. At a time of war,
a coarse time, brutality, we are told
is the price of peace. Such reverse lore
pushed by men of a nature so worldly,
are direct descendants of the snake before
Eden. Rejecting peaceful community,
consensus, or any of the attributes for
which women like Jane shine. I do believe
'twas Adam the snake set upon to deceive.
