More From Jon Krakauer

The gaps are the thing. the gaps are the spirit's one home, the altitudes and latitudes so dazzlingly spare and clean that the spirit can discover itself like a once-blind man unbound. the gaps are the clefts in the rock where you cower to see the back parts of god; they are fissures between mountains and cells the wind lances through, the icy narrowing fiords splitting the cliffs of mystery. go up into the gaps. if you can find them; they shift and vanish too. stalk the gaps. squeak into a gap in the soil, turn, and unlock-more than a maple-universe.

The spectacle of the sky overwhelms me. im overwhelmed when i see, in an immense sky, the crescent of the moon, or the sun. there, in my pictures, tiny forms in huge empty spaces. empty spaces, empty horizons, empty plains - everything which is bare has always greatly impressed me.

For me, it is about using everything that is there and using the gaps in the record, figuring out why the gaps might be there. and then when you move on to the level of what historians said, laying the interpretations side by side. you also have to look back at the documents and make your own judgments. what the record says and what people say about it. a novelist can fill the gaps in a way that a biographer cannot.

Theoretically, you can make, obviously, a powerful argument that centuries of slavery, jim crow, discrimination are the primary cause for all those gaps. that those were wrongs done to the black community as a whole, and black families specifically, and that in order to close that gap, a society has a moral obligation to make a large, aggressive investment, even if it's not in the form of individual reparations checks, but in the form of a marshall plan, in order to close those gaps. it is easy to make that theoretical argument.

Ten times a day something happens to me like this - some strengthening throb of amazement - some good sweet empathic ping and swell. this is the first, the wildest and the wisest thing i know: that the soul exists and is built entirely out of attentiveness.

Life and death were so unpredictable. so close to each other. we existed moment to moment, never knowing who would be the next to leave the world. i was still in it, barely, and as i looked up from the ashes, everything around me seemed so sweet and so beautiful. the trees. the stars. the moon. i was alive -- and i was glad i was.
