"There's a certain orchid that looks exactly like a certain insect, so that the insect is drawn to this flower, its double, its soul-mate... and wants nothing more than to make love to it. After the insect flies off, it spots another 'soul-mate' flower and makes love to it, thus pollinating it. And neither the flower, or the insect, will ever understand the significance of their lovemaking. How could they know, because of their little dance, the world lives? And it does. By simply doing what they are designed to do, something large and magnificent happens. In this sense they show us how to live; how the only barometer you have is your heart; how when you spot your flower, you can't let anything get in your way."
