Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
At last! At very last! I see the joy in dying and feel the grace of letting go. Today I celebrate the pain which affords me this great joy. I stand on a hill awed by the confluence of three rivers, where I witness two watersheds freely giving themselves over to a new and mightier river. And thus I grieve little, for in my grief I am too aware of my being and of my possessions. Now I am possessed by something much greater.
