A batch of the best highlights from what Claudia's read, .
I am no drunkard, but I am no saint either. A medicine man shouldn’t be a saint. He should experience and feel all the ups and downs, the despair and the joy, the magic and the reality, the courage and fear of his people. He should be able to sink as low as a bug or soar like an eagle. You have to be God and the devil, both of them. Being a good medicine man means being right in the midst of the turmoil, not shielding yourself from it. It means experiencing life in all its phases. It means not being afraid of cutting up and playing the fool now and then. That’s sacred too.

On the other, it is a single, cohesive body which demands a holistic, global description. The slime mold therefore shows how collectivity and individuality, holistic and reductionist aspects can exist within the same system.
