"And at once I knew I was not magnificent..." Bon Iver, Holocene.
So much loveliness in this world. So so much. So much taken for granted. So much gone unnoticed. What a shame.
I want to see it all before it's gone.
"It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? For the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop." Vita Sackville-West
"And at once I knew I was not magnificent..." Bon Iver, Holocene.
"You seem like you just breathe and get along, I do not know if you are happy.. or if there is any sense of happiness or joy in your life."
"The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a tellar but for want of an understanding ear." Stephen King (Different Seasons)

"...I need some of that vagueness now, it's all come back too clearly..."
"Time it was and what a time it was, it was a time of innocence, a time of confidences. Long ago it must be, I have a photograph. Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you." Simon and Garfunkel, Bookends.
"The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought, this in turn makes us think more deeply about life, which helps us regain our equilibrium." Norbet Platt.
