Try to imagine yourself in a parallel universe: different language, different alphabet, different humanoid forms.
Then pause to think about what procreation between two beings of this race would be like; what if it doesn't exist?
What if they were born from a seed planted in the earth?
Attending the birth of this living being, first the arm or the head or the feet, until he reveals himself to be at the full strength of him.
Most likely I will carry on this project for a while, the union between living being and earth.
Because in my opinion the primordial, intrinsic union between man and earth is going to die out.
