I wonder about its origins, how a seed so miniscule could grow into a structure so vast and resilient. I'm still examining its genesis. To examine, to question, to discover and evolve--that is what it means to be alive. The day we cease to explore is the day we begin to wilt.

My story will never be finished, nor should it be. For as long as God grants me breath, I will be living--and writing--my next chapter.”
