about

This song is dedicated to Aldo Leopold. The lyrical content form this song is a reading from Leopold’s essay “Thinking Like a Mountain”. To think like a mountain means to have a complete appreciation for the profound interconnectedness of the elements in the ecosystems. It is an ecological exercise using the intricate web of the natural environment rather than thinking as an isolated individual. The story relays Leopold’s experience of coming across a mother wolf and her pups and shooing them. He writes “We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes – something known only to her and to the mountain. I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters’ paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view.”

Thanks to Peg Millett for her voice, singing Forever Wild on the song.
