"There are many windows through which we can look out into the world, searching for meaning …
…Most of us, when we ponder on the meaning of our existence, peer through but one of these windows onto the world. And even that one is often misted over by the breath of our finite humanity.
We clear a tiny peephole and stare through.
No wonder we are confused by the tiny fraction of a whole that we see.
It is, after all, like trying to comprehend the panorama of the desert or the sea through a rolled-up newspaper."
—Jane Goodall, Primatologist/Anthropologist (1924-).
