big fat red tulips (and friends) from the terracotta gardens here at 29 Black Street
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart
and 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 will find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day
into the answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke - Letters to a Young Poet
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart ... uh huh ! I think I'll try that.
Such a timely quotation; I'm struggling with this house, wondering if I'll ever be ready to leave, and paralysing myself with the size of the task. I need to live with the questions now, I think.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing little glimpses of you in the glass. Funny how live view photography changes how we shoot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Tulips! I love Rilke!
ReplyDeleteFlo's pitcher is perfect paired with the red tulips. I love the dreamy reflections of you, even more.
