"A Time Before Deception" #1

I read the book in its entirety by the time of midterms. In the 'Early Communication' section of the book, there is a quote that intrigued me. It is as follows, "Many religious people believe that humans have "fallen" from some more perfect state and claim that we have devolved. That is, we have lost our higher powers of long-distance communication-- communion with all animals and understanding the rhythms of nature." It is so true. I beleive that we have become so detached or devolved because I know I am guilty. However, I can also say that I have caught glimpses of the being one with or communing with nature and know that I love it and would love to make a stronger connection there. Sometimes it just seems like too much too ask....especially with all these other obligations hanging over my head...
