Several of his books will always be my favorites - but where I used to be able to read them once a year, now I can read them once a decade without feeling bored. It's a sad thing, that. If you or Ben (or the kids) like In N Out, I'm giving away a free gift card this weekend! All you have to do is guess what garbage my husband left under the bed :). I’m that way with John Irving.

Or maybe its a song that used to touch me in such a way it would bring tears or a smile, but now its just a memory. Like friends, these things come into our lives at a time when they mean so much and touch us so deeply, but later we don't need them in quite the same way. This is a beautiful post and perfect metaphor.

That happens sometimes I think. Like friendships. Sometimes you just don't need it anymore. Season, reason or life. Possibly works for books too.
