Spirits

If people have spirits, then so do birds, fish, and mammals of the seas, since all these have life and give life. If you think about it, and if you’re generous, the carving of a bird, the mask of an otter, if they give joy or fear, if they teach us, may also have spirits. I’ll leave it to you to decide whether the earth, the seas, the wind, or the sky, which all move and give life, have spirits.
