Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue to exist, a wonderful living side by side can grow up, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see each other whole against the sky.

As once the winged energy of delight / carried you over childhood's dark abysses, / now beyond your own life build the great / arch of unimagined bridges. / Wonders happen if we can succeed / in passing through the harshest danger; / but only in a bright and purely granted / achievement can we realize the wonder.

The sky puts on the darkening blue coat / held for it by a row of ancient trees; / you watch: and the lands grow distant in your sight, / one journeying to heaven, one that falls. Rainer Maria Rilke

If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable. Rainer Maria Rilke

it is clear that we must trust what is difficult; everything alive trusts in it, everything in Nature grows and defends itself any way it can and is spontaneously itself, tries to be itself at all costs and against all opposition. We know little, but that we must trust in what is difficult is a certainty that will never abandon us; it is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be one more reason for us to do it.

We're still reminded-: sometimes by a rain, / but we can no longer say what it means; / life was never again so filled with meeting, / with reunion and with passing on Rainer Maria Rilke

I am no one and never will be anyone, / for I am far too small to claim to be; / not even later. / Mothers and Fathers, / take pity on me. / I fear it will not pay to raise me: / I shall fall victim to the mower's scythe. / No one can find me useful now: I am too young, / and tomorrow will be too late. / I only have one dress, / worn thin and faded, / but it will last an eternity / even before God, perhaps. / I only have this wispy hair / (that always remained the same) / yet once was someone's dearest love. / Now he has nothing that he loves. Rainer Maria Rilke
