opened new ways to explore seeing and hearing as his gentle descriptions unfold.
Ur-Erudite at times a stretch...
as well as the hypocrisy of writing so many lovely poetic testimonials,
then marching off to hunt (murder) birds -
which detracts from any truth to be experienced...
and offering the Native Homeless people only a "sprig" of sage...?
