This was just really eloquent in the descriptions. I like how heavy the imagery was in his memories too, since it's there that we tend to embellish our thoughts to make them even more real.
the ground under him was like a woman in love, soft and yielding.
this was them, him and Mary, in forty years time, bodies still in the same trajectory, smoothed from love and years together because there was grace in old age
The way his thoughts run there is just so beautiful, you almost ache reading these words.
