“And now let us believe in a long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been, full of work that has never been done, full of tasks, claims, and demands; and let us see that we learn to take it without letting fall too much of what it has to bestow upon those who demand of it necessary, serious, and great things.” ~Rainer Maria Rilke in a letter to Clara Rilke
“And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been.” ~Rainer Maria Rilke
"Avoid providing material for the drama that is always stretched tight between parents and children; it uses up much of the children’s strength and wastes the love of the elders, which acts and warms even if it doesn’t comprehend. Don’t ask for advice from them and don’t expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is strength and blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it." ~Rainer Maria Rilke
"Be good to those who stay behind, and be quiet and confident in their presence. Don't torment them with your doubts. Love the life that is theirs, although different from yours" ~Rainer Maria Rilke
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is,to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you win then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” ~Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
“Believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.” ~Rainer Maria Rilke

"I'm too alone in the world, yet not alone enough to make each hour holy. I'm too small in the world, yet not small enough to be simply in your presence, like a thing - just as it is." ~Rainer Maria Rilke
"I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world." ~Rainer Maria Rilke

the days of my life, already lived,
and held like a legend, and understood.”

"It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart." ~Rainer Maria Rilke
"Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." ~Rainer Maria Rilke
"Love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far away, and this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast. Be happy about your growth, in which of course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind. Be confident and calm in front of them and don't torment them with your doubts and don't frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn't be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn't necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again. When you see them, love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust, and don't expect any understanding. But believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it." ~Rainer Maria Rilke
"May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children." ~Rilke

"What we all seek is a sense that we’ve come home." ~Rainer Maria Rilke
