"First, we know sound, the rhythmic beating of our mother’s heart. Second, we know touch, the texture of our mother’s skin. Then we know light.
During the day, we go about with eyes open. During the night, we go about with eyes closed. We travel long distances on our Night Journeys." - Judy Tuwaletstiwa
