Interesting Insight

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad. C. S. Lewis

I have been thinking of something kind of similar to this. . . I can no easier go back to "the darkness" as Jack could go back to being a newborn. You could no easier stop the "eagerly awaited promise" than stop Matthew from growing up and learning something new every day.

Kind of the same vein of thought as Clive Staples. Well, no. Not really. Not at all, actually.

Okay. Never mind. He taught at Oxford. I went to Oconee.
