Avoid 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.
Rainer Maria RilkeI want to unfold. I donโt want to stay folded anywhere, because where I am folded, there I am a lie.
Rainer Maria RilkeThe most visible joy can only reveal itself to us when we've transformed it, within.
Rainer Maria RilkeI would like to beg of you, dear friend, as well as I can, to have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything.
Rainer Maria Rilke
