“Ten years dropped from a man's life are no small loss; ten years of manhood, of household happiness and care; ten years of honest labor, of conscious enjoyment of sunshine and outdoor beauty; ten years of grateful life--one day looking forward to all this; the next, waking to find them passed, and a blank.” MenYearsCareNextLossHonestOne DayTenConsciousLaborGratefulEnjoymentSunshineWakingHouseholdBlankManhoodLooking ForwardGrateful For Life Book:Hans Brinker: Or, The Silver Skates, a Story of Life in Holland Source: Hans Brinker: Or, The Silver Skates, a Story of Life in Holland

“When you first start a band all you think about and spend your time doing is writing songs, play shows, in the simplest way and the simplest formation of the band. It's about the gear, and that guitar that one day you will buy. It's a beautiful time. I'm grateful for having that time.

“Noticing and remembering everything would trap bright scenes to light and fill the blank and darkening past which was already piling up behind me. The growing size of that blank and ever-darkening past frightened me; it loomed beside me like a hole in the air and battened on scraps of my life I failed to claim. If one day I forgot to notice my life, and be damned grateful for it, the blank cave would suck me up entire.” IfsLightPastRememberBehindsGrowingAirSceneOne DayClaimsGratefulSizeHolesFrightenedBlankTrapsCavesNoticingScrapDarkening Author:Annie Dillard
