That our organic bodies-organs sheathed in muscle and tissue-could balance themselves on two feet, could walk, dance, run barefoot through wet earth, skimming over the gnarled roots of trees that stretched outward, toward some unseen horizon. That, while alive, we could form connections with others of our kind: speak, touch, hold hands. Or love."
