First I had believed that disappearing had been, for my brothers, the magnanimous acceptance of a defeat; now I knew that the more the dinosaurs disappear, the more they extend their dominion, and over forests far more vast than those that cover the continents: in the labyrinth of the survivor's thoughts.

As we dangle by our fingertips we grasp and claw at what's no more; with a fear of falling into the dim unknown. But, ironically, it's in that very moment that we are empowered to choose.

Sometimes, persevering...is simply having the courage to let go. ~Jason Versey — Jason Versey

No one's right, no one's wrong
But, who am I to tell you so? — Quetzal
