"We all yarn for what we have lost. But we forget what we have" 

It's been a year since I lost my father. Nothing I can do will ever bring him back. I miss him so much to the extent that I forget he ever died in the first place. I took for granted that he was always there that I still don't believe he's no longer here. 

What have you ever lost that you regret not appreciating?

3: The TimeKeeper, P. 87-111 (Earth to City)

At this point in the story a voice came to Dor and told him that he is free from his isolation (for now) because his journey is far from over. Dor wanders off in our world in mystery, halting time between a second and a blink to marvel at the world we take for granted. He learned languages, read the books and got himself a suite.
a question I had and surprisingly I found written as I read along: Can you imagine having endless time to learn?
I personally believe that would be incredible yet terrifying. Incredible because knowledge is a everlasting sea and our minds are boundless vessels and it would be terrifying because (what will you do with all that knowledge? what purposes will it serve? ) I believe there's a reason as to why we learn as much as we do in one life time.


2: The TimeKeeper, P. 64-86 (The in between to Falling)

So far in this part of the book Dor the TimeKeeper is trying to escape his seemingly endless solitude and isolation. Dor had never wished for anything more than for his end to come and for his existence to disappear into the oblivion. the most interesting aspect was in my opinion was the fact (and i mentioned this before) is that all he wished for was time, he counted it, studied it and prayed for it. Yet, now that he became the TimeKeeper all he wants is to give the time that he had worked for it away.
