“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” — Stephen Hawking
The irony about “wisdom” with age, is that you question what you think you know more than ever.
Sometimes what we know blocks us from being open to the idea that we might be wrong about what we know…
…and that quiet resistance can keep us from seeing the obvious, the new, or even the truth hiding in plain sight.
So, I guess I’m say, the older I get, the less I think I know.

There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion. —Francis Bacon
I have a thing for odd numbers, even a little OCD. They’re just more interesting—unbalanced, a little unpredictable.
Odd numbers are the system’s way of embracing controlled chaos. They introduce asymmetry—just enough to make things resilient, interesting, or memorable. Like a glitch that makes the pattern more real.
There’s beauty in things that don’t quite resolve and things that do, oddly, and I love that. :)

When my daughter was little, I'd say, “Nothing's impossible—just stuff we haven't figured out yet.”
“Impossible” is just fear talking. We get scared of what we don't know. Life isn't split into possible and impossible; it's more about what we know and what we're still learning.
As Arthur C. Clarke wisely said:
“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.”
So when I’m thinking about all the things in life that seem impossible, I remind myself: we’ll get there—we just haven’t figured it out yet.
