And how do you live?
With grief. With fear. With laughter.
With boredom. With glee. With contentment.
With fury. With hope.
With the firm conviction that no thing
cancels any other thing out.
Death does not cancel life.
Grief does not cancel joy.
Fear does not cancel conviction.
Nor any of those statements in reverse.
Make your heart a bowl
that is large enough to hold it all.
Imagine that you are the potter.
Stretch the clay. Cherish the turning wheel.
Accept that the bowl
is never going to be done.
- Lynn Ungar
