‘Wild Service' - Part One….
I’m reading ’Wild Service’ …
http://www.spanglefish.com/berniesblog/blog.asp?blogid=16815
…and it’s a GOOD READ. Reading the Prologue is like having a conversion with a thinking, reasoning person – always enjoyable.
The first article - ’Reconnection’ – begins with children in the Mesolithic skipping across the bank which lines the Severn Estuary leaving their footprints and connects them, us, and the times of Life in between.
This got me thinking of the human footprints found in what was mud, in Norfolk….

And there are others, in other parts of the world….. https://www.google.com/search?q=Ancient+human+footprints+found+in+mud&sxsrf
And the footprints described by Alan Garner as being in ‘Tough Tom’ in ‘The Stone Book Quartet’…… and Friday’s footprint in Robinson Crusoe.
Human footprints – we make and leave our mark.
All those people, walking the earth, as we do. They are us and we are they.
Connected.
