| Bear Dreamer Curled in silence, wrapped in wonder. Sung beneath a frozen world where all was still. All of which could have moved, but did not. Living rivers turned to ice. Windless, lightless, womb of earth, there dreams the winter bear. There too, in another time, dreamt I. A dreaming bear is a walking bear, a spirit stalking forest and plain, icescape and dreamscape, of the Dreamer's mind. Is it this, I wonder, this communion beyond majesty and ferocity intuition and intelligence, which has bound me decade after decade to the Great Bear and his kin? For although I am a scientist, I am also a seeker of stranger truths, Who for year after year has been thrilled and terrified, fascinated and stupefied, by this magnificent being. Who while learning bear’s worldly ways, has met “minds within the skins of other kinds,” and finally glimpsed Spirit Bear. © 1987 Stephen Stringham |

Ever wonder how bears experience life?
Curious to know what they eat -- not just
what their foods are called, but how they
feel, smell or taste?
Want to try catching salmon or digging
clams the ways a bruin does?
Want to hear cubs purr as they nurse or
protest when they're famished?
Would you like to share several hours or
days of the lives of some of the world's
largest, most intelligent land carnivores, and
their wild neighbors?
Would you like to also step back in time a
few centuries and sample the ancestral arts

| Renewal In part because bears can be so dangerous, they force you to pay attention. The awe of being in their presence strips away the chaos of thoughts and distractions that normally dominate your consciousness. They focus your attention on the moment. They flood your blood with adrenaline and endorphins. They introduce you to terror, awe, amazement and ecstasy. They connect you to the deepest pulses of life. This is their gift. The power to take your life, or to renew it; to re-create who you are, if only for a moment, and perhaps for a lifetime. (c) 2002 Stephen Stringham |
| Brother Wild Out of the dark and winter night, through the storms and pains of youth, you came, another mind, within the skin, of another kind. Beyond your ‘person’ality and intelligence, was that command for my respect. Ye who strove for dominance over me. Ah, but we did battle. Our thunder shook the earth. And then we laughed, and together slept upon the mountain side. Old friend, fellow being, looking out through animal eyes. I bear your scars. You bear mine. Across the years that pass, I heed your cry, seeking other minds, within the skins, of other kinds. (c) 1968 Stephen Stringham |
