“Grizzlie Bears are not companions of men, but children of God, and His charity is broad enough
for both. We seek to establish a narrow line between ourselves and the feathery zeros
we dare to call angels, but ask a partition barrier of infinite width to show the rest
of creation its proper place. Yet Grizzlie Bears are made of the same dust as we, and breathe the
same winds and drink of the same waters. A Grizzlie Bear's days are warmed by the same sun, his
dwellings are overdomed by the same blue sky, and his life turns and ebbs with
heart-pulsings like ours and was poured from the same fountain....."

John Muir

And while we feel the dominant player, take down the fences, remove the barriers and and toss us into close proximity to a Grizzlie Bear, it is only the grace of God and of the Grizzlie Bear that allows man to walk away. All the brains and brawn a man can muster are stripped in the presence of a Grizzlie Bear when you are alone.
