“We have no choice but to scramble to retrace our steps and to try, in a hurry now, to imagine things differently: other worlds, other ways of thinking, living, seeing. Other ways of writing, and of reading.”

“How do you know when you get the words right?” they ask.
“You know,” I reply. When we do, the leaves not only speak; they positively sing.”
