The Slough of Happiness

I came to the tidal waters of Poole Slough and to the forest and marshes around it to find something important. I brought with me my experience in many professions, my education, my wide travels in wild places, and what I have learned over many years as a science writer. 

Here I watch the drama of tides and weather, sun and fog, life and death, the way anyone watches a play by Shakespeare, Stoppard, or Chekhov. In this drama I’ve found the answers I need to understand nature, our place in it, and why we exist. I invite the reader to join me. That’s why the prologue is “You Come Too.”
