Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance

by Ruth Emmie Lang

Without children to experience those same things, time seemed to stand still. The selfish years of my teens and twenties were long gone, and now, it didn’t seem like enough to just take care of myself.

Good quote

found it strange that there could be so much beauty in the death of all these living things. Maybe it was only beautiful because we knew they would be resurrected next spring. I don’t think I would enjoy fall quite as much if I knew there was an eternal winter to follow.

“Why do you do that?” “Do what?” “Take something beautiful and vandalize it with skepticism?”
