They were always here, beyond our faith, but within the bounds of our imagination. ‘Creatures,’ is what folk say nowadays, but we must seem as odd to them as they are to us. And how unlike us are they really? Trying to carve out their own living space from an unforgiving world. To me they seem to be another energy and truth in that larger truth that encompasses all.
