Status Updates From Rilke's Book of Hours: Love...

“You darkness, from which I descend,
I love you more than the flame
which holds the earth
within the space
it brightens
and leaves all else unknown.

But the dark collects everything:
shapes and flames, animals and me,
whatever it comes upon,
peoples and powers—

Who knows—a great force may be stirring
right next to me.

I believe in the night.”

"i know that nothing has ever been real / without my beholding it. / all becoming has needed me. / my looking ripens things / and they come toward me, to meet and be met."

i have said it before. i will say it again. rilke is the best at everything especially perspective in relation to major life changes. this collection is so important to me. stay tuned

this is so fucking good
