The Joy of Working Alone
I spent 30 years in the woods working alone with the birds which was, as I say, a really sort of formative period had a lot of time to think about when you have a little bird in your hand and you have responsibility for that life. So I was forming my own relationship with nature using the evolution, the biological, ecological paradigms that I was being given. And all of that was saying Darwin's model of evolution and the neo Darwinian model of evolution are too simplistic. Life is more complex and dynamic and exciting. And there's a deeper reality to everything. That was an important side of things.
