We throw our parties; we abandon our families to live alone in Canada; we struggle to write books that do not change the world, despite our gifts and our unstinting efforts, our most extravagant hopes.

Neither do they ask how long they must be roses, and then what.
Or any other foolish question. — Mary Oliver
