Aug 3 -

Ask the Bear Maggie Devers I want to know what the bear knowsWhat the ocean knowswhat my heart knows.
Might it all be the same.
Does the bear not love?Does the ocean not mournis my heart not wild?
But how to know what the bear knowsMaybe the salmon swimming in the stream will tell me.Or children who have learned to war like a bear Or the ghost of the hiker mauled by the bearThere must be truth in all they know Or I could just ask the bear.
