Just a half hour ago I watched a very crowded, rush hour roadway stop and wait patiently for two large families of geese with teenaged goslings to cross multiple lanes. They did not cross quickly: several of the goslings were keen on the pavement. No one honked their horn (or blew it :). It was several shared minutes of what felt like humanity, which is to say, kindness. Thank you for yours, Michael.

This is perfect, Michael. Thank you for a concise analysis of our noisy, wolf-dominated moment. I'm reminded of my writing on the ubiquity of parasites in the animal world, and how human parasites are uniquely unaware of their dependence on a healthy ecology.
