An intense name for such a chaotic event. It is quite unimaginable at the moment, to try and picture this happening in real life, equal but opposite reaction to energy.

The relationship described in this story is quite unique. Through the chaos, struggle, and determination of the teal, she was shown the way to an incredible place in order to lay her eggs. It seemed to me that there was more of a helping hand lent her way, and because of the help she was able to bring life through stars in heaven, skies, and essentially life.
This story does address the origin of the universe through a religious aspect. The number seven is crucial since according to the bible seven days is what it took for the world to be created, on the 7th day God rested, and it is represented as a wiser and complete point of view. The moment the eggs were at boiling point and were rolled into the chaotic water, and something beautiful emerged from this collision. The creation of the universe and life, and could only be created by a "higher power", which serves more as an answer than a scientific explanation.

ilderness was stillsacred, but the religious sentiments it evoked were more those of a pleasant parishchurch than those of a grand cathedral or a harsh desert retreat. The
Religion got the best of people, which in turn they upheld the same beliefs and applied it to nature. Dangerous to uphold said beliefs and uphold nature to the same standard when nature has complied within its own set of laws.

. Remember the feelings of such moments, and you will know as well as Ido that you were in the presence of something irreducibly nonhuman, somethingprofoundly Other than yourself.
Such concepts can be hard to grasp, but it is important to be in touch with yourself and with nature in order to appreciate and understand this point of view.

suppose that wilderness can be the solution to our culture's problematic relationshipswith the nonhuman world, for wilderness is itself no small part of the problem
Well written to say the least. To many people, they look outward instead of inward when it comes to problem solving. By looking at the culture's problematic relationships and breaking it down to the root of the issue, will we then begin to understand how not to repeat the same steps.
