My T-shirt is from the Native Rhythms Festival held every November at Wickham Park and in 2016 was dedicated to the Florida Black Bear to honor and heal after the Florida bear hunt was suspended after 2015.
The picture painted by my neighbor and artist, Lee Hanline, on the wall was painted on my old cooler top and has tooth holes in the top and sides when I almost had to wrestle a black bear while camping as he lifted it out of the back of my pickup truck many years ago. It ended well with no food being exchanged and a cool souvenir. It was a good lesson on not attracting bears.
Years later in Alaska we hiked almost right into a coastal brown bear with what I think was mutual excitement and respect. This time only memories, really good ones. This effort may be karmic pay-back for all the unique experiences nature keeps unveiling.
“If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected.”
