"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

...a step ahead of the banker,
a moment behind convention,
putting off heaven and hell
as long as possible.
--from Blood Writing, by Sean Sexton
UPDATE:
The poet sends his picture, in his Querencia, and a painting. I'd love to see that place. Meanwhile, get his book!

Sean: a friend recently recommended your Blood Writing and I have been reading it costantly. I intend more quotes on the blog.
