Walking Shoes

"Thirty was so strange for me.
I've really had to come to terms
with the fact that I am now
a walking and talking adult."

-C.S. Lewis 

Turning Point

“Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year.
The morning of the first September was
crisp and golden as an apple.” 

-J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Simplified Complexity

“We cannot fathom the marvelous complexity
of an organic being;
but on the hypothesis here advanced
this complexity is much increased.
Each living creature must be looked at
as a microcosm--a little universe,
formed of a host of self-propagating organisms,
inconceivably minute and as numerous
as the stars in heaven.”

-Charles Darwin
