“Nature, no longer sacred, becomes our subordinate, and its soul is demonized. Worse still, we now shape our bodies to the empty artifice of technology as we are hollowed out of meaning by modernity. Our backs are office-hunched, our shoulders rounded. We once watched the flight of migrating birds in search of auguries. Now we watch trending feeds on Twitter, a feed that offers no nourishment. Eyes that once scanned the sea’s horizon no longer look up from a phone. We have utterly abandoned the natural world.”

“As the Christian asks, “What would Jesus do?” others may ask, “What would the Dark Man do? How would the trickster manage this situation?” Nine times out of ten, the answer is indifference.”

“The salmon traveled through the waters of the otherworld to Ireland, its perfect form gliding between worlds. Tuan mac Cairill came to Ireland as before the flood, retaining the memories of his centuries of dream lives as Irish totem animals. Incarnated as a salmon, he was eaten by the Queen of Ulster who became pregnant and gave birth to Tuan the human. Like the Sorcerer on the cave wall in France, he is a composite being of fin, wing, tusk, and antler. I had been a man, a stag, a boar, a bird, and now I was a fish. In all my changes I had joy and fulness of life. But in the water joy lay deeper, life pulsed deeper. For on land or air there is always something hindering. The stage has legs to be tucked away for sleep, and untucked for movement; and the bird has wings that must be folded and pecked and cared for. But the fish has but one piece from his nose to his tail. He is complete, single and unencumbered.”
