The Universe Peoples

"So let’s say the tree which grows apples is a tree which apples, using 'apple' as a verb. And a world in which human beings arrive is a world that peoples. And so the existence of people is symptomatic of the kind of universe we live in, just as spots on somebody’s skin is symptomatic of chicken pox, just as hair on a head is symptomatic of what’s going on in the organism. But we have been brought up not to feel that we belong in the world. So our popular speech reflects it. You say, 'I came into this world.' You didn’t. You came out of it."
