"Death is nature. Nature is far from over. In the end, the gore at the creek comforts more than it appalls. In the end – I must believe it – just like a salmon, I will know how to die, and though I die, though I lose my life, nature wins. Nature endures. It is strange, and it is hard, but it is comfort, and I’ll take it."-Eva Saulitis, Becoming Earth
