My earliest memory is of sunlight and blueness under a kitchen table. The bright white light was transformed as it streamed in through a high window and gathered a blue haze about itself from cupboards and floor. I felt this small domain to be a calm and soothing place and my friend, a large black and white cat would often come sauntering in to greet me, waving and curling her smooth tail in agreement.

I used ai to illustrate this recollection with a text prompt and DALLE-2 .

The quote at the start of a YouTube video of footage from the film “Samsara”
seems particularly appropriate to make a bridge between this early memory and my first steps on a journey into anthropology to understand a little more about what it means to be human.
