“In a lifetime we have many options, but not being curious, not seeking truth and knowledge, not understanding people and civilizations past and present throughout the cycles of humanity and not enjoying our time on Earth, well, those aren’t optional for me. It’s imperative to who I am, in how my partner and I are raising our child.”
