This is my last in a series of daily posts in which I share writings of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke that connect most clearly with mystery and awe.
This is the briefest.
My only advice for you is this. Go within yourself and probe the depths from which your life springs.
~Rainer Maria Rilke, February 17, 1903, Letters to a Young Poet
I can’t think of anything much more mysterious than this.
Close your eyes, temporarily let go of other concerns, and really listen to this deep place in you, from which your life springs. What does this teach you?
