William Irwin Thompson was an innovator in many ways; mostly, I believe, in his sense of knowing that if there is a problem to solve, an issue to mindfully approach, it needs to be done with a

group containing artists, philosophers, historians, anthropologists, musicians, poets, bricklayers, architects, and more; and I would add now, so many years later, black, yellow, brown people, and

indigenous people. His entire life was a creative work; an amazing person, and now his son follows.

We understand the past through our images, stories and myths of the present. And vice versa.

A poem is not a riddle or a puzzle. But here is a hint, anyway--, from the scholarly literature on Henry.

"The name 'Eucalyptus' comes from the ancient Greek words 'eu' meaning 'well' or 'good,' and 'kalyptos' meaning 'covered' or 'concealed.'"
