Absence Quote by Wendell Berry

“New grief, when it came, you could feel filling the air. It took up all the room there was.

More time is added…” quote by Wendell Berry

“New grief, when it came, you could feel filling the air. It took up all the room there was. The place itself, the whole place, became a reminder of the absence of the hurt or the dead or the missing one. I don't believe that grief passes away. It has its time and place forever. More time is added to it; it becomes a story within a story. But grief and griever alike endure.”
