“...I found a paradoxical happiness in realizing how little I knew of the realm of grasses and trees, and what pleasure could lie in acquiring even a slender store of knowledge. Starting anew brings a sense of renewal and possibility. I rapidly reached the limit of my understanding, losing my way in thickets of scientific language, absorbing gleams and glimmers of new information. The details slipped from my mind faster than the grass seeds that scattered as I walked, quicker than down blown from a dandelion. But each discovery, like the passage of a comet through the sky, enlarged my sense of the world and left behind excitement and warmth in my heart... and my gratitude to the hare expanded as my perception deepened.” — Chloe Dalton
