4. Heather Lydia Thornhill:

   The pathway to life doesn't always begin in an egg, sperm or womb, sometimes it replicates the whole adult form in an instant. Just because something is small or different, doesn't mean it isn't fully and perfectly formed already. Everything that dies, first lives perfectly alive. All life is perfect but all perfection isn't always on the right path.
