We need to look within but in order to find freedom we must look out from ourselves and in my belief system we need to look up! The world can be ugly but if we look, God has painted beauty everywhere but we have to look for it, be willing to move and enjoy it!<br />HopeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612862199192033310.post-69272608229938909212015-09-20T09:43:16.856-07:002015-09-20T09:43:16.856-07:00I love Rainer Maria Rilke's poetry, and this o...I love Rainer Maria Rilke's poetry, and this one is powerful.

The part where you say "keep things real, even if it means admitting darkness". In time of awfulness this poem has made hard times easier to bear. The poem is also so much more than just "support". It's inspiring to live life fully. "God Speaks" by Rainer Maria Rilke (one of your countrymen who you might be familiar with). It's short so I'll post the whole thing here:<br /><br />God speaks to each of us as he makes us,<br />then walks with us silently out of the night.<br />These are the words we dimly hear:<br /><br />You, sent out beyond your recall,<br />go to the limits of your longing.<br />Embody me.<br />Flare up like a flame<br />and make big shadows I can move in.<br />Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.<br />Just keep going. No feeling is final.<br />Don't let yourself lose me.<br />Nearby is the country they call life.<br />You will know it by its seriousness.<br />Give me your hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612862199192033310.post-50476755158153352972015-09-20T08:01:19.056-07:002015-09-20T08:01:19.056-07:00Molly, the lake is (uninspiringly) called Lake 22....Molly, the lake is (uninspiringly) called Lake 22.

It's been rather warm here for this time of year and has stretched the summer out further than I am used to. aspiritofsimplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870339828098281415noreply@blogger.com
