I have been reading “Jim the Boy,” by Tom Early, a book as slow and unmarked as a boy’s summer day. In the book, Jim made sense of the small triumphs and losses of his short life with the perspective of the sun. When you think about the sun coming up and going down hundreds of millions of times, it kind of makes what’s going on today not seem so important.
