I certainly hope so, Wynne, because I love scientific explanantions. But
even if that scientific explanation turns out to be remarkably incisive and
valuable...I think I prefer to think of it as the wood singing, too. Thank
you for a thoroughly wonderful and poetic image. I don't know about today,
but something tells me that if you could sit down with some of those guys
who were building kayaks when the first white guys turned up, they would
know exactly what you meant. I'm pretty sure you could have passed a couple
of pleasant hours listening to them talk about the different songs.
