August 3, 1920


It is the birthday, August 3, 1920, of the writer Louis Pauwels. The writer of, or contributor to, many volumes that blend science and religion, refers to, in his

butterfly that can sense the female at a distance of ten miles... 

And in this gathering Pauwels points to the boundary between science and that sense men have of something beyond that.

All the kittens catch little crickets and grasshoppers, and one of the kittens catches a bay mouse, and a kitten named Citrolane catches two sparrows, one with each paw.
