Ursula K. Le Guin R.I.P.

Life rises out of death, death rises out of life; in being opposite they yearn to each other, they give birth to each other and are forever reborn. And with them, all is reborn, the flower of the apple tree, the light of the stars. In life is death. In death is rebirth.”

-Ursula K. Le Guin, The Farthest Shore

A friend pointed out to me that she actually died in December....grief is fresh for me.
