Earth Dialogues
Marilyn DuHamel
“We are not protecting grizzlies from extinction; they are protecting us from the extinction of experience as we engage with the world beyond ourselves. The very presence of a grizzly returns us to an ecology of awe. We tremble at what appears to be a dream yet stands before us on two legs and roars.”
From Hour of the Land

Anna Breytenbach: The Animal Communicator
​
This beautifully made documentary opened my awareness of possibilities with other species. She communicates with baboons, birds, a jaguar with great compassion. She believes we all have this capacity and now does trainings all over the world.
At the borders of our beds
are the strange ways, voices,
the slow shifting of eyes, turning of ears.
They hear us, smell us, dream us.
We lie down
in the long nights of their waking,
the world of animal law,
the house of pelvic truth.
From "Ritual Life of Animals" in The Book of Medicines
