The longer I live the more things I see that I never imagined. When I see something so far beyond what I was expecting, I feel young, fresh, naive. I feel the joy of a child discovering that there are other playgrounds in the world. The feeling that the world is vast and strange and unknown. They make pterodactyl noises while they do it. And beat their veiny wings.

People get the concept of death. They get what it is. And in death, they even often grasp a bit of... the rest of it. That the universe works, that there are beginnings and endings, and for everything that happens in between, there is a structure to it, stages, a certain amount of order.
