Yes. As you progress forward to new points of stability, you lose contact with the previous ones. It feels like you’re accumulating things in life, but time is entropy’s ceaseless expansion, and the things you relied on before are behind you and possibly even occluded by so many other layers of things in your life.
You’re hoping to reach somewhere to stop, but all there are, are handholds spaced too far to drape yourself across two.
You can’t rest. You have to keep reaching and climbing. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
