I think about freedom of destruction every day

To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Mary Oliver, from "In Blackwater Woods" in American Primitive
