“I smile when I
hear my colleagues say “I discovered X.” That‘s kind of like Columbus
claiming to have discovered America. It was here all along, it‘s just
that he didn‘t know it. Experiments are not about discovery but about
listening and translating the knowledge of other beings.“

Year, year, fledge me a Jay.

These illustrations bring to mind a sense of soaring towards heaven. Stunning.

I will fledge you a Jay that will plant
you a thousand acorns that will each
grow a thousand oaks that will each
live a thousand years that will each
fledge a bright-backed, blue-winged,
forest-making Jay.
