Mom, in contrast, is the paragon of warmth

Mom: I understood--it was confirmed with the dog [that came up to me]--dogs love me. Dogs find that I'm full of positivity and warmth. This has always been the case. Bees, too. They don't sting me. They accept me as one with nature.

[Birds chirping]

Mom: Do you hear the birds? Are there birds where you are? Do they chirp?
