| Bear Dreamer Curled in silence, wrapped in wonder. Sung beneath a frozen world where all was still. All of which could have moved, but did not. Living rivers turned to ice. Windless, lightless, womb of earth, there dreams the winter bear. There too, in another time, dreamt I. A dreaming bear is a walking bear, a spirit stalking forest and plain, icescape and dreamscape, in the minds of dreaming Dreamers. Is it this, I wonder, this rapport beyond majesty and ferocity intuition and intelligence, which has bound me decade after decade to the Great Bear and his kin? For although I am a scientist, I am also a seeker of stranger truths, Who for year after year has been thrilled and terrified, fascinated and stupefied, by this magnificent being. Who while learning bear’s worldly ways, has met “minds within the skins of other kinds,” and finally glimpsed Spirit Bear. © 1987 Stephen Stringham |

| Watch animals from so close you can see the twinkle in their eyes and smell the steam of their breath |
| Renewal In part because bears can be so dangerous, they force you to pay attention. The awe of being in their presence strips away the chaos of thoughts and distractions that normally dominate your consciousness. They focus your attention on the moment. They flood your blood with adrenaline and endorphins. They introduce you to terror, awe, amazement and ecstacy. They connect you to the deepest pulses of life. This is their gift. The power to take your life, or to renew it; to re-create who you are, if only for a moment, and perhaps for a lifetime. (c) 2002 Stephen Stringham |
