"Why bears?" she asked.
"Because they're big, and versatile. They live alone yet remain communal. They look after themselves, but will kill for their young. When you look into the eyes of a bear, you see not emptiness, but the souls of humans' brethren."
"But they can kill you!"
"Yes, but so can everything else - including humans, including yourself. It isn't right to worry about the banal trivialities of what can kill you. You're gonna go when you go - either at the hands of yourself or something else. So instead of worrying; go for a walk in the woods, dance in the rain, drink a little Jack, have amazing sweaty passionate sex. Do something with your life that even Mother Nature will be awed."
"Those hours of meditation and long walks really have helped, haven't they?"
"You have no idea..."
