Voice of the Day: Mary Oliver

"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 her poem "In Black Water Woods"
