I ran across your book in the library last week quite by accident. The title captivated me. I started the first page and was instantly hooked. I didn’t know anyone else thought this way. I can’t wait to read more.

When I heard the tale of your achievements on NPR this past summer, the hold of the Hoh rainforest on my imagination grew tighter. Shortly afterward, I encountered Mick Dodge, the barefoot sensei and his stories of play and learning in the Hoh grew into my imagination like so many tree roots. As a former seasonal NPS interpretive ranger at Denali, Joshua Tree and Everglades national parks, I am tremendously inspired by the work that you are doing out there. Thank-you very sincerely and I look forward to the opportunity to meet you one day in the not too distant future. Here’s to new opportunities for quiet contemplation!

I have just listened to the interview with Gordon on Radio New Zealand.
We have just been camping and hiking in Shenandoah National Park and state parks in nearby Virginia. This idea of noise free National Parks really struck a chord with us. The sound of overhead jets was quite noticeable while we camped. Don’t get me wrong, we had a wonderful time. It was just even more lovely when the jets stopped during the night.

Wish I could have been there for this. Perhaps next year I’ll be in NY by then and can take part in these wonderful festivities.

Well said Paul. I remember some commentator making a similar comment in the album notes for one of the Miles Davis/Gil Evans records. Someone asked him to explain why jazz was important, and he said it was like romance. If you don’t enjoy it in the first place, you won’t be convinced by arguments.
