“The bear had a strong smell. Like fish and blood, heavy in the air, and Mara thought that maybe she had noticed this smell in the woods before and not known the source.

“So far the response around here has merely been to cry foul, either in the name of a materialistic secularism or in the name of a dogmatic political ideology, both perverted by excessive devotion to narrow self-interest and fear of the moral burdens of uncertainty. This is the reason why we need action guided by the best knowledge we can find but also by the highest principles of accountability to the gift of life. Science alone can't seem to make moral sense of our own nothingness, which is one reason why it is time to begin naming again, morally chastened by an appreciation of what our cartographic imagination has failed to understand.”
