Quote of the Day:
Even when we are alone, we are never alone. We exist in symbiosis — a wonderful term that refers to different organisms living together. Some animals are colonised by microbes while they are still unfertilised eggs; others pick up their first partners at the moment of birth. We then proceed through our lives in their presence… Every one of us is a zoo in our own right — a colony enclosed within a single body. A multi-species collective. An entire world.
