I was looking for something I didn't have to work on much to fix for this. I basically agree with you, Jerry, about the need to stay out of the limelight as I'm working on something. So when I say in a blog that I'm "working on something," it really means I "worked" on something. I love reading your comments, and I very much appreciate your kind words.

That we are animals ourselves gives it more resonance. That we get comfort from thinking that our pure intentions might make us more acceptable to other creatures is one of the more endearing things about us. I love how in your finished poem the wild (chaos) shimmers through the veil of order (form) and seems ready to leap for the woods at any momeny. I for one would love to see more of this. Do you keep the early notes/drafts of all your finished work?

You go from strength to strength. You make me wonder, alas, if I have spent my naturalist's LIFETIME seking to demonstrate my (nonexistent) purity. Love, Syd It’s an absolute knockout, Fleda, one of your best, I swear. You go from strength to strength. You make me wonder, alas, if I have spent my naturalist’s LIFETIME seking to demonstrate my (nonexistent) purity.

Love,

Syd

It's good to hear from you. Yeah, Linda, that’s the idea I was after, the feeling I was having–as if somehow we have a purity that attracts animals. It’s good to hear from you.

I just read something by Jim Harrison--how life sends him running to the woods. Thanks for this poem--and for your discussion of generalizations.
