im done reading the Letters to a Young Poet. The 8th letter, Borgeby gård, Flãdie, Sweden, 12 August 1904, was so real. It feels so personal, so real, that it resonates through my being.
"If it were possible for us to see further than our knowledge reaches, and a little beyond the outworks of our intuitions, perhaps we should then bear our sadnesses with greater assurance than our joys."
Have you ever stumbled upon something so uniquely captured? Whatever you are feeling, were grasped so perfectly? Yeah.
"The quieter, the more patient and open we are in our sadness, the deeper and more unerringly the new will penetrate into us, the better we shall acquire it, the more it will be our fate, and when one day in the future it ‘takes place’ (that is, steps out of us towards others) we shall feel related and close to it in our inmost hearts"
Rainer Maria Rilke "Letters To A Young Poet"
Young poet or not, it's an ink for those forgotten pens.
