“to live in this world

you must be able
to do three things

and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go”
― Mary Oliver, New and Selected Poems, Volume One

“For surely as each November has its April, mysteries only are significant; and one mystery-of-mysteries creates them all:

― E.E. Cummings, I : Six Nonlectures
