“It is a terrible thing, this kindness that human beings do not lose. Terrible, because when we are finally naked in the dark and cold, it is all we have. We who are so rich, so full of strength, we end up with that small change. We have nothing else to give.”

— Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness.

“Sometimes I feel washed up as paper. You’re three years away. But then I dance down Graham and the trees are the color of champagne and I remember— There are things I like about heartbreak, too, how it needs a good soundtrack. The way I catch a man’s gaze on the L and don’t look away first. Losing something is just revising it. After this love there will be more love.”

— Hala Alyan, “Object Permanence,” via the Academy of American Poets

I know a rotting stump near a broken fence.

It is alive in so many ways that have nothing to do with the tree it once was

and everything to do with the tree it once was. That's the friendship of life and death.

Death teaches life about unity.

Life shelters death from forever.
