Paul Shepard and the “story” of ecology

Rain here today in Nelson so it is a good day to finish packing for Tromso. Loading electronic equipment in dry bags and thinking, ‘travel light.’ Thought you might enjoy this quote from human ecologist Paul Shepard.
“Although ecology may be treated as a science, its greater and overriding wisdom is universal. That wisdom can be approached mathematically, chemically, or it can be danced or told as myth.”
My intention on this sailing expedition is to explore the song, dance, story of ecology and its importance to the crisis of climate change.
