The inspiration for this book came from Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.

In one of his talks he held up a piece of paper and asked, "Can you see the logger in this piece of paper?" I was confused and looked hard to see a picture of a logger. Then he asked, "Can you see the sun in this paper? Can you see the rain in the paper? Can you see the forest in the paper?" He concluded by saying, "The entire universe is in this piece of paper. Everything is in everything." And I thought, "Then the eagle must be in the eulachon!"
