The deepest experience of the creator is feminine, for it is experience of receiving and bearing.
Rainer Maria RilkeExtinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you. Seal my ears, I'll go on hearing you. And without feet I can make my way to you, without a mouth I can swear your name. Break off my arms, I'll take hold of you with my heart as with a hand. Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat. And if you consume my brain with fire, I'll feel you burn in every drop of my blood.
Rainer Maria RilkeAvoid providing material for the drama that is always stretched tight between parents and children; it uses up much of the childrenโs strength and wastes the love of the elders, which acts and warms even if it doesnโt comprehend. Donโt ask for advice from them and donโt 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.
