			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Years ago, during a period of grieving, I sent this excerpt from Mary Oliver&#8217;s poem &#8220;In Blackwater Woods&#8221; to my father:</p>
<blockquote><p>To live in this world</p>
<p>you must be able<br />
to do three things:<br />
to love what is mortal;<br />
to hold it</p>
<p>against your bones knowing<br />
your own life depends on it;<br />
and, when the time comes to let it go,<br />
to let it go.</p></blockquote>
<p>Another period of grieving is upon us. When I read Mary Oliver&#8217;s words, my heart is momentarily lighter.</p>
