I Took Seven Years Over This Work, Spent All I Had, My Time, Money And Energy. Part Of The Journey Was A Green Riot And Part A Deathly Bleakness. I Got Ill, I Got Well. I Went To The Freedom Fighters Of West Papua And Sang My Head Off In Their Highlands. I Met Cannibals Infinitely Kinder And More Trustworthy Than The Murderous Missionaries Who Evangelize Them. I Anchored A Boat To An Iceberg Where Polar Bears Slept; Ate Witchetty Grubs And Visited Sea Gypsies. I Found A Paradox Of Wildness In The Glinting Softness Of Its Charisma, For What Is Savage Is In The Deepest Sense Gentle And What Is Wild Is Kind. In The End A Strangely Sweet Result I Came Back To A Wild Home...
