ÔÇ£Across the sea of space, the stars are other suns.ÔÇØ You know why trees smell the way they do?ÔÇØ Murphy asked, looking up from her hammering. ÔÇ£Sap?ÔÇØ Logan guessed. ÔÇ£Chlorophyll?ÔÇØ Murphy shook her head. ÔÇ£Stars. Trees breathe in starlight year after year, and it goes deep into their bones. So when you cut a tree open, you smell a hundred yearsÔÇÖ worth of light. Ancient starlight that took millions of years to reach earth. ThatÔÇÖs why trees smell so beautiful and old.ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£These money men are strange human beings. They proclaim vision & innovation, but seem unable to imagine what their fellow man might be feeling. Poverty & powerlessness are beyond their ken. If the ability to walk in your fellow manÔÇÖs footsteps is a barometer of civilisation, then these people are barbarians.ÔÇØ

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
