“What the hell is life, apart from moments?”

We are, all of us, given such a brief moment of time together, it hardly seems fair.

I Am in Eskew, Episode 21/ Beartown, Fredrik Backman/ Migrations, Charlotte McConaghy

I work my jobs, I take my pills. Knot the tie and go to work, unknot the tie and go to sleep. I sleep. I dream. I wake. I sing. I get out the hammer and start knocking in the wooden pegs that affix the meaning to the landscape, the inner life to the body, the names to the things.

-The Long and Short of It, Richard Siken
