What Does The Sea Need To Reflect Stars if Not Silence?
You might think anything anyone says holds no significance, but sometimes it’s their unconscious speaking, and it’s the most valuable thing.
You might ask what it takes for a snake to shed its skin. Every cell on its body must go through a process of growing a new layer of skin before it can dump the old scale. But another thing it needs is time. Throughout the beginning of evolution, the nerves in a snake’s body must have endeavored the impossible in automating the shedding process as thousands and thousands of snakes took the trial.
In humans, the skin always seems intact. No matter how you look at it. No matter how much time passes, you still can't detect a single patch of freshly grown cells without using a microscope. It makes it more enthralling cause it can reflect light. Even if you are standing in a dim room with a weak beam escaping through the bottom of a door, you can notice your skin gleaming. And this is how we are supposed to be —without the chance to dump our old shell like a boa or viper, we are supposed to look untouchable.
Until we are not.
