• Name me no names for my disease,
  With uninforming breath;
  I tell you I am none of these,
  But homesick unto death —Homesick for hills that I had known,
  For brooks that I had crossed,
  Before I met this flesh and bone
  And followed and was lost… .And though they break my heart at last,
  Yet name no name of ills.
  Say only, “Here is where he passed,
  Seeking again those hills.

• Nature is very clear on this. In fact, there's one fundamental law that all of nature obeys that mankind breaks everyday. Now this is a law that's evolved over billions of years and the law is this: nothing in nature takes more than it needs. A redwood tree doesn't take all of the soil's nutrients, just what it needs to grow. A lion doesn't kill every gazelle, just one. We have a term for something in the body when it takes more than its share. We call it cancer.

• Later when I thought of the chickens, one of those rare pale blue eggs rose up into my throat. The chickens had been part of our family, and the egg in my throat was the feeling of something missing. It was hard and smooth and heavy, but also so fragile it might break and make me cry. It was the feeling of growing out of a favorite shirt, milk spilled on the floor, the last bit of honey in the jar, falling apple blossoms. It was the lump in the throat behind everything beautiful in life.
