“Beginning with the embracing of sperm by egg, we each seek to know who we are and to meet others from that place of knowing. This book is a compilation of questions, insights, and experiences by people deeply dedicated to the unknown germ of potentiality and uniqueness seeded within each of us. These shared stories move me, and I am transformed by them. With my deepest respect, gratitude, friendship, and love, I salute the authors and editors of this wonderful book.”
