The Sparrows Are Preparing For Winter, Each

When I Worked In Los Angeles Covering Hard News, Very Often When Something Important Would Happen I'd Be Off In The Woods Covering Something Unimportant, Which Was More Interesting To Me.

I Did Stories About Unexpected Encounters, Back Roads, Small Towns And Ordinary Folk, Sometimes Doing Something A Little Extraordinary.

I Think All Those People I Did Stories About Measured Their Own Success By The Joy Their Work Was Giving Them.

I Had A Little Insight Into Life That Most Kids Probably Didn't Have. My Mother Was A Schoolteacher, And My Father Was A Social Worker. Through His Eyes I Saw The Underside Of Society.

There Are A Lot Of People Who Are Doing Wonderful Things, Quietly, With No Motive Of Greed, Or Hostility Toward Other People, Or Delusions Of Superiority.
