We created fables to explain our presence, even scientific ones that we can't prove. It is all unproven theories, on all sides. We are not exceptional; we are only exceptional when we work together and in sync with nature like every other creature.”

Intuition is the journey from A to Z without stopping at any other letter along the way. It is knowing without knowing why.”
