“Earth’s ecologies are transentient manifolds over relation, form and temporality. The concept of evolution is delusional in its purposive assumptions. What we are calling ‘intelligence’ is not even the fingernail of nature, but in our urge to start with ourselves at the apex, we overlooked the obvious fact that we are the newcomers here. Not the experts. The children. And what we are the children of is nothing like our expectations, imaginings or demands. I encourage you to directly and personally recover these matters to sense, memory and reflection. Your humanity is nothing like the human models in language and thought. In actual fact, its nature is too astonishing to speak upon, unless one has, already, some deep conscious and active relation with its origins, purposive natures, and faculties.”
