The Ritual of Departure
There's a poem in the book that I want to read to you that speaks to this. It's by a Korean poet, and much for how to say his name, cool on it is said that nothing can become new unless it first turns to ashes. For a whole decade, my misfortune was not having turned to ashes burning a mound of dead leaves and late autumn. And when a friend sent me that poem in the middle of my why bother time, I did cry because I knew that's one of the ways and reasons I stayed stuck.
