And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
Raymond Carver
(Why? Because I am utterly humbled by it. Even more so knowing that it was written by a man preparing to die. It evokes gratitude and clarity of perspective, yet also a certain sadness. In its presence I feel sorry... and prepared to try.)
