Just Fragments

Labor Day Weekend: A couple images captured through my phone.

The first two are both images of Bodega Bay, which is one of the most amazing places I have ever come to see. You can get lost on the beach listening and watching the waves. I suppose that could happen with any beach on any ocean, but something about Bodega Bay has captured me.

Just the sunset from the university.

I have been looking at these books sit on my shelf for awhile now. I have yet to reread them, and I have been wanting to for some time now. They are phenomenal, or at least from what I remember they are. I have technically read The Golden Compass three times, but I have only read the sequels once. They are probably one of the most influential trilogies I can remember reading as a child. Harry Potter and Star Wars books of course had their lasting impression on the boy/man I am now, but these made me think. These books made me question the world. These books weren't just simple entertainment with heroes and villains to me. It wasn't a battle of good vs evil in this trilogy, I can't quite remember what it was exactly, but it made me think. It taught me to gather insight on things in the world and action from people that I had not at the time been aware of. It taught me to observe the world and learn from it, and also to observe myself. Maybe they won't retain the same significance as they once had, and then again maybe they will have that and more.
