In the woods, in the mountains We begin another chapter Still more to be gleaned From the essence of the black bear Because the black bear has a presence Which to witness is a gift To receive it we must open Like a clearing in the mist And here comes black bear now Emerging from hibernation She’s not alone, she brings the future The next bear generation Two cubs timid, amid the brambles Stumbling into being Blind when born, but now behold The majesty of seeing A purity of openness With everything to learn Let the bears remind us of a grace To which we may return And the black bear lives for living And to keep her cubs alive She doesn’t take or hurt more than she needs In order to survive Why is it so hard to change? What insistence does it take? I trailed the wisdom of the bears The distance to the lake And when she gazed Across the water I saw her as Mother Nature’s daughter And from that same mother I am her brother For at least that moment We saw each other The kinship cut me to the core And turned me inside out All the ways we’ve failed her Are too many to count But the black bear doesn’t fault us She has no concept of blame Nor can she forgive us Our trespass and our shame The fact is we have taken Much more than is our share In so doing we have broken More than we can repair I’m older now and wiser With a lot less time to wallow No more seeking out self-pity Instead examples that I can follow The qualities that cast the spell Will be the same to lift the curse Resourcefulness and imagination But this time in reverse And the black bear lives for living And to keep her cubs alive She doesn’t take or hurt more than she needs In order to survive And why is it so hard to change? What insistence does it take? I trailed the wisdom of the bears The distance to the lake And the black bear lives for living And to keep her cubs alive She doesn’t take or hurt more than she needs In order to survive Why is it so hard to change? What insistence does it take? I trailed the wisdom of the bears The distance to the lake
