“I've learned to see the Sasquatch as a powerful symbol of the natural world—a diminishing realm fro which most of us are becoming increasingly estranged. On one level, Sasquatches personify the more refined spectra of nature that we cannot, or often do not, see. They remind us that there is much more to the natural world, writ large, than meets the eye. They also show us, almost by holding a mirror to ourselves, that they eye with which we see is limited. The artificial lines we humans have created, the fragmentation we have wrought upon the whole, separate us from the wilds to which we are inextricably linked.”

“It may or may not be real. It doesn't matter if it is literally not.”

“Then a thought hits me: maybe the Sasquatch hasn't been found, indeed can't be found, because it residesin the place most difficult for us to find and navigate. A wilderness of an altogether different sort. A place where people seldom look, or are loath to look: in the subtler shades, the gradations between black and white—the middle ground between "this" and "that," between "It exists" and "It doesn't exist," where the components of truth most often reside.”

“It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things whether the Sasquatch actually exists or not.”

“We have an innate, fundamental need for meaning—for our lives to be meaningful.”
