I came across Craig Childs in the Sun magazine, where an excerpt from Animal Dialogues, The Ravens, was included. Glued to the short story of his experience with the ravens in a lone area in Utah, I was delighted to find an entire book of such encounters.
Most people, myself included, these days, learn about animals from television cameras on Nature on public television or on the Discovery channel. The author brings these encounters closer to home and reminds us, indirectly, and through the active engagement of reading, that not so long ago, most humans shared the world with animals, learned from them and understood that these earthly companions have important messages to relay, just by their being who they are. |
