“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, New and Selected Poems, Volume One

― Wally Lamb, She’s Come Undone

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
