“It is as if there is something in another universe like a strange blanket. And the blanket is shot through with stars, which are animals, living places, acts of great beauty or nobility, moments of reverence, situations, incidents… and people of the past, present and future…

And up there… in the strange blanket… there is a web-like mesh that connects a constellations of these … features… and, like a cone… it descends… perhaps along what appears to be a single thread… into incarnation.

So that, up there, you have this vast familial network… of participants and relationships… and down here you have… a tree, or dolphin, a cat… the Amazon Rainforest, the Sahara Desert… or the human being writing this.”
