My Favorite Animals Are Dogs.

I Got To Africa. I Got The Opportunity To Go And Learn, Not About Any Animal, But Chimpanzees. I Was Living In My Dream World, The Forest In Gombe National Park In Tanzania. It Was Tanganyika When I Began.

And In That Very Cognitive Exercise, Part Of The Wonder Is Gone. Once We Have Labeled The Things Around Us We Do Not Bother To Look At Them So Carefully. Words Are Part Of Our Rational Selves, And To Abandon Them For A While Is To Give Freer Reign To Our Intuitive Selves.

When You Meet These Outstanding Leaders Who Have Been Through A Programme That Empowers Them To Take Positive Action, To Make Things Better For People, For Animals And For The Environment - When You Watch Them Interact And They Start Brainstorming, You Realise You Can Relax, Because They Have Got It Right. They Understand That There's More To This Life Than Just Money.
