“Look, calling somebody in a wheelchair handicapable doesn`t all of a sudden give them the power to climb stairs or the ability to grab Ho-Hos off the top shelf.”

“Glenn used to say the reason you can't really imagine yourself being dead was that as soon as you say, "I'll be dead," you've said the word I, and so you're still alive inside the sentence. And that's how people got the idea of immortality of the soul - it was a consequence of grammar. And so was God, because as soon as there's a past tense, there has to be a past before the past, and you keep going back in time until you get to I don't know, and that's what God is. It's what you don't know - the dark, the hidden, the underside of the visible, and all because we have grammar, and grammar would be impossible without the FoxP2 gene; so God is a brain mutation, and that gene is the same one birds need for singing. So music is built in, Glenn said: It's knitted into us. It would be very hard to amputate it because it's an essential part of us, like water.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Year of the Flood

“I could feel Devon鈥檚 gaze on my face, reading my body language despite how hard I had tried to keep the irritation from showing. 鈥淭hey鈥檇 like you to move them to a tank they have set up. They鈥檙e going to trap them for this week and then let them go.鈥� Of course they did.

I managed to keep from rolling my eyes but between Devon鈥檚 presence and immediately being swarmed by otters the minute we got near the water, I end up wishing that I had. Otters are fast little mammals in the water; the fur keeps the water off their skin while making them slick and fast while in their preferred environment. The hard lesson I鈥檇 learned had been that they could scamper and bound pretty darn quickly on land. Nearly twenty of the brown friendly creatures swarmed up the banks of the tributary and made raucous sounds of greetings at me. Two vets stood nearby with nets and silly grins on their faces and a puny four otters ready to be transported to where ever in two tanks on trucks quietly humming with earth energy. Mags and Evan had backed up when I鈥檇 been swarmed but Devon had stuck by my side and seemed highly amused by the otters climbing over and around him to get to me.

鈥淭hey weren鈥檛 kidding about you and otters.鈥� I shoot him a 鈥榥o duh鈥� look and scoop up a pair to hand off to one of the Earth Elementals. We were saturating their habitat with majick, we鈥檇 been asked not to use majick on them, and so catching my willing victims by hand was the way I was going to do my task...”
