Still Thinking About Jane & Her "Famous Last Words"

I'm still thinking about Jane Goodall, here well over a week since her passing. I ran across this art from Eco With Em's Facebook Page and it felt powerful in this day and age. I'm already missing Jane's courage of her convictions and the fight backed by hope that she always led with.

If you like Eco with Em's style, check out Emily Ehler's website and her book: Hope is a Verb: 6 Steps to Radical Optimism when the World Seems Broken.  I wrote about this book my February 9, 2022 post A Trio of Messengers of Hope. This post also includes mention of Dr. Jane Goodall's book: The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide For Trying Times.

Also timely, last weekend, Netflix released their first episode of "Famous Last Words," a show concept where many famous people are interviewed individually, with the conversations kept under wraps until the event of their passing, at which point Netflix will air the interview postumously and as a celebration of the life of a cultural icon. Their first episode: Dr. Jane Goodall. Conceptually, this program stems from a similarly named show in Denmark “Det Sidste Ord” (“The Last Word”), created by Mikael Bertelsen.

I found myself wanting for a world where there was more time for this amazing, compassionate, wise, optimistic, wonderful woman.
