““Each of us possesses five fundamental, enthralling maps to the natural world: sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell.

This failure of attention will make orphans of us all.””

“ Homo sapiens have left themselves few places and scant ways to witness other species in their own worlds, an estrangement that leaves us hungry and lonely.
