For those of you who have yet to see "A Sense of Wonder," the 2010 docudrama based upon Rachel Carson (author of "Silent Spring"), I encourage you to find a way to view this lovely film.
Somehow, I missed its release last year, but was grateful that my husband came across and recorded it for me to watch yesterday. The poignant, one-woman play, written and performed by Kaiulani Lee, was captured beautifully in the simple film; most of the dialogue is from Rachel Carson's writings and the actress delivers each word with heart-felt sincerity.
"Those who dwell,
as scientists or laymen,
among the beauties and mysteries of the earth
are never alone or weary of life."
She was a pioneer, a female hero. I'll look for it but also hope to catch a documentary on her someday, if one has been made.
