“I have known moments when, for reasons beyond my ken, I knew and looked upon each living being and place with the abject adoration and protective intimacy that is alive between a mother and her infant. I have known moments beyond even this, though it seems too daring to suggest, let alone assert.

It was in these moments that I knew something secret and fundamental about the actual nature of not only my humanity, and its potentials… but intelligence. Not merely my own. The nature and society of its origins and living bodies of refuge, development, and communion.”
