“He Raised Us All Up” – A Tribute To Joseph Chilton Pearce
(Pictured above is Joe and Pam at a Maine lecture in 2001)
It is with great admiration, appreciation, and affection that I pay tribute to our most esteemed Joseph Chilton Pearce .
If humanity has had a champion these last ninety years, it has been Joe.
“We are like dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants. We see more, and things that are more distant than they did, not because our sight is superior or because we are taller than they, but because they raise us up, and by their great stature add to ours.” – John of Salisbury
Joe raised us all up.
“The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men [and women] the conviction and the will to carry on.” – Walter Lippmann
Joe has long been our leader in the field of human development, and he leaves behind many, many men and women with the conviction and will to carry on. He passed the final test.
Joe,
You have always been my most beloved and treasured teacher. Your work, your play, and your heart will remain in my work, my play, and in my heart and brain for all my days.
Fairies never say, “Hello” or “Good- bye”‘ they say, “Fly with you.”
Fly with you Joe,
Love,
Pam Leo
