This is what I saw the other day

Beautiful, and very new

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"
