From an interview with Mark Doty in Tricycle
http://www.tricycle.com/blog/dont-they-know
Mark Doty: Grief does not seem to me to be a choice. Whether or not you think grief has value, you will lose what matters to you. The world will break your heart. So I think we’d better look at what grief might offer us. It’s like what Rilke says about self-doubt: it is not going to go away, and therefore you need to think about how it might become your ally.
I find that line all the time in my notebooks, "the world will break your heart." Or better, " the world will find a way to break your heart."
