“No matter how diligently we apply our rational minds, no future awaits in which the human species understands every part of life, and life does not exist in parts but as an unfathomable vast whole. To be in ignorance does not reduce our intelligence. To accept our ignorance enlarges our capacity for the love, reverence, and imagination that might nurture and bring forth better ways of living. Holding space for this mystery, we don’t know what we’ll discover.”
—Holly Haworth, “Bodies of Knowledge: Dissecting the Mysteries of Life”
