Is


 

As She Is

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, In Blackwater Woods
Painting: Henri Matisse

Wow, I love this! And oh so fitting... Both the words and the painting speak volumes.
