We do not realize how deeply our starting assumptions affect the way we go about looking for and interpreting the data we collect. We should recognize that nonhuman organisms need not meet every new definition of human language, tool use, mind, or consciousness in order to have versions of their own that are worthy of serious study. We have set ourselves too much apart, grasping for definitions that will distinguish man from all other life on the planet. We must rejoin the great stream of life from whence we arose and strive to see within it the seeds of all we are and all we may become. ↗

I wouldn't sing any of this if I didn't think it might help someone. Especially girls. It's so hard for girls - pressure to like this band or that band, dress like this but not like that - do whatever will make you blend into the wall. But girls are so passionate inside, waiting for an outlet - and that's what I try to encourage: be who you are, take control of your life. ↗

Nothing living should ever be treated with contempt. Whatever it is that lives, a man, a tree, or a bird, should be touched gently, because the time is short. Civilization is another word for respect for life... ↗
