Some of the best moments in a life don’t announce themselves. “Beautiful moments don’t exactly tap us on the shoulder, or shout out for attention. They are there, quiet, waiting to be discovered by those who stay true to themselves.”

Innocent describes them as silver linings — moments that make you value the life you have and, at the same time, want to improve it. Lack makes abundance easier to appreciate; abundance sharpens the lessons lack taught. Each throws the other into relief.

Mostly it comes down to perception. The moment arrives when it dawns on you that you’re in a rare and particular space — and that noticing, he thinks, isn’t a skill anyone can hand you; you learn it your own way.
