Rilke
” … and for the rest, let life happen to you. Believe me, life is right, in any case.”
I wish I knew exactly what it is about those simple words.
As if my soul has been waiting, as if written for me.
boom
There they be.
A gentle nudge that stirs something within
& how they stumbled into my life is pretty fantastic too.
A comment to a status.
A person taking the time to relate, to care.
A new friend.
An understanding.
These words come from Rainer Maria Rilke and can be found in the book ‘Letters To A Young Poet’.
Written long before you or I were sitting on this planet, they say what I feel and feel what I say.
The struggles.
The hope.
The heartache and faith.
I know I’m a sucker for inspiration but, this guy has uncovered a hidden something in me FOR SURE
& I just can’t stop thinking, I’d have never found them on my own.
They found me
& little did she know when she asked if I’d like to borrow her book, she was placed on my path for reasons beyond my comprehension.
Talk about perfect timing !
WoW
The point I am trying to make on this beautiful, new today ?
If something inside of you whispers,
coaxes,
suggests to do ?
Do.
For yourself.
For another.
Just Do.
That voice, those people are given to you for a reason.
So if you hear it, if you feel it.
Do.
” … and for the rest, let life happen to you. Believe me, life is right, in any case.”
I’m glad you followed what you were being told, Rainer Maria Rilke.
You too, Hilary.
🙂
