Josh Simmons quoted Devotions by Mary Oliver
For Tom Shaw S.S.J.E (1945-2014) by Mary Oliver
Where has this cold come from? "It comes from the death of your friend."
Will I always, from now on, be this cold? "No, it will diminish. But always it will be with you."
What is the reason for it? "Wasn't your friendship always as beautiful as a flame?"
