“You watch, listen, talk, sniff and wonder. You are there as a thinking, experiencing creature, and so you take notice. At the same time, you are in the presence of other thinking, experiencing creatures. You are noticed.”
“..and there are all the ordinary living things—the trees, birds, insects, marsupials and
mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, trees, shrubs, grasses. To some of these
you are related. So, you are in the presence of your relations, and thus you are enmeshed in reciprocities, obligations, benefits and shared objectives. You are not alone.”
