I became intensely aware of the being-ness of trees.

Whole groups of hominids with inferior brains could not win wars and were therefore exterminated.

I don't have any idea of who or what God is. But I do believe in some great spiritual power. I feel it particularly when I’m out in nature. It’s just something that's bigger and stronger than what I am or what anybody is. I feel it. And it's enough for me.
