The Loyalty of Water.

“Of this there can be no question — creative work requires a loyalty as complete as the loyalty of water to the force of gravity. A person trudging through the wilderness of creation who does not know this — who does not swallow this — is lost.”

–Mary Oliver, “Of Power and Time”

Apparently, the poet Mary Oliver has written a book of essays, entitled Upstream.

I must find this book.
