This is how moths speak to each other. They tell their love across the fields by scent. There is no mouth, the wrong words are impossible, either a mate is there or he is not, and if so the pair will find each other in the dark.

— Barbara Kingsolver, Prodigal Summer (HarperCollins, October 2000)

I got up every day thinking the sun was out there shining, and it could just as well shine on me as any other human person.
