I am watching a bear and a bear is watching me, then along comes a coyote and we are three. The bear and me and coyote, we are all three eating wild plums and they are sweet. We are all sitting on the ground, connected to the earth, connected warily to each other, carefully keeping an eye on each other, yet there is no threat, we are sharing a space, a time, for a only a few moments, yet moments that will linger for me long after we have gone our separate ways.
