No limits to what rose in rubbing sticks
On fire to scare away the pterodix
When man first lived in caves along the creeks?”

And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty.”
—June Jordan (b. 1939)
