Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

[dk-thrive]

Long walks in the woods, going barefoot day and night, a lamp in the evening, a warm room, and the moon, whenever it suits her, and the stars when they are out, and otherwise just sitting and listening to the rain or to the storm as though it were God himself.

— Rainer Maria Rilke, in a letter to Lou Salomé written c. December 1912. "Rainer Maria Rilke and Lou Andreas-Salomé: The Correspondence", translated by Michael Winkler and published by W.W. Norton & Company in 2006. (via Alive on All Channels)

Most experiences are unsayable; they become real to us in a space no word has entered.

Let everything happen to you: Beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.
