The Gist of It
Animal Quills is a creative community for animal-people to share and discuss their written works. Over a hundred essays are archived here (many of which in locked entries). We focus on the concrete "here and now" experience of being animal inside, and other related musings (see our About page if you want to post).

Date: 2006-04-26 09:13 am (UTC)True extinction is never possible when you carry the memories and the ancestry and the knowledge inside of your spirit. Sifting through memories, and studying bones give you paltry answers for what it is to be human, but letting go and looking down into yourself you will over time be able to find satisfactory answers that transcend a need for 'evidence' and 'proof.'
If I encounter a marsupial lion in the otherworlds while shamanising, I do not question, I do not require 'proof', the indelible mark it has left upon me is more than enough.
