She Said It...

Deb Rivel, board member of The Alex Foundation, quoted in Dr. Pepperberg's book, Alex & Me:

"Alex taught me the meaning of oneness. What I learned from him also supported what I always have known to be true: that there is just one Creation, one Nature, one good, full, complete Idea, made up of individuals of all shapes and designs, all expressing their oneness with one God. We are not different because we look different, but we all reflect the eternal beauty and intelligence of one Creation in our own peculiar way. It's what makes up the whole -- this textured fabric of thought and existence -- and knowing Alex has underscored to me how much the same we really are."

Right on.
