They circle, adding it all up then recalculating with increasing perspective. YOU keep growing up, move, circle, add it all up then recalculate. And they're watching you do your best with it all, out in front of them by only a handful of years, tiny in the face of the world, huge in their eyes.

a life spent longing 

 vs. a life that was continually surprising
