When I was little one of the highlights of my weekend was the TV programs I was allowed to watch on Sunday night: Road to Avonlea, The Wonderful World of Disney and The Nature of Things.
I remember seeing David Suzuki in the airport once and shyly asking for his autograph, giddy upon receiving it.
Tonight I watched Force of Nature: The David Suzuki Movie on CBC and am reminded of his charm. Suzuki is passionate about his field without being overbearing and the documentary was of course alarming and upsetting while still being gentle and relatable. He shared stories of his life and family that made me remember what was important in mine.
Experience, not stuff.
I am looking forward to one day taking Little E camping and teaching her that we are all a part of each other and Mother Earth. Why are we here? We are an essential part of the universal building blocks.
