The flower bends when the wind wants it to, and you must become like that-that is, filled with deep # trust .
Rainer Maria RilkeWhere something becomes extremely difficult and unbearable, there we also stand always already quite near its transformation.
Rainer Maria RilkeDo you recall, from your childhood on, how very much this life of yours has longed for greatness? I see it now, how from the vantage point of greatness it longs for even greater greatness. That is why it does not let up being difficult, but that is also why it will not cease to grow.
Rainer Maria Rilke
