“Alien civilizations could look at us from space and ask: What are they doing there? Why are they not going anywhere, but they keep circling around? Earth is the answer to every question. Earth is the face of an exalted lover. Earth is a mother waiting for her children to return to her full of stories, ecstasy and longing. With less dense bones, with shorter limbs. With eyes full of unspoken gifts.” (excerpt from the book)
