Little me was so grateful to find Jane's work when we were sent to the library to choose idols for worship, she hasn't left my side since.
I am so sorry to hear the news.
Jane Goodall has passed away, October 1, 2025. She just spoke in Taipei in June: "Young people are the future...we've been stealing their future for a very long time..So we've got to spend time with them and help them understand [that there] is a way forward."

So my love of chants is rooted in the multiculti moment of my united colors of Benetton 90s upbringing
"But lo and behold, a few leaves of parchment stuck in the back happened to contain pieces of early sixteenth-century music, or rather chant, with both text and notation, a vanishingly rare sort of artifact of medieval monastic life."
