Shattered people are best represented by bits and pieces.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we are still just able to endure, and we are so awed because it serenely disdains to annihilate us.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
The necessary thing is after all but this solitude, great inner solitude. Going into oneself for hours meeting no one - this one must be able to attain.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Be, in this immensity of night, the magic force at your sense's crossroad.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
No one can advise or help you - no one. There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself. Search for the reason that bids you write, find out wether it spreading out its root in the deepest places of your heart...Delve into yourself for a deep answer
Rainer Maria Rilke

The flower bends when the wind wants it to, and you must become like that-that is, filled with deep # trust .
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Is not impermanence the very fragrance of our days?
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Just keep going - no feeling is final.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
And do not change. Do not divert your love from visible things. But go on loving what is good, simple and ordinary animals and things and flowers, and keep the balance true.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Draw near to Nature. Then try like some first human being to say what you see and experience and love and lose.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Now for some heartwork.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
If we surrendered to earth's intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
One of the most difficult tests for the creator: he must always remain unconscious, unaware of his best virtues, if he doesn't want to rob them of their candor and innocence.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Perhaps creating something is nothing but an act of profound remembrance.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Here is the time for the sayable, here is its home. Speak and attest. More than ever the things we can live with are falling away, and ousting them, filling their place, a will with no image. Will beneath crusts which readily crack whenever the act inside swells and seeks new borders.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
To all that is used-up, and to all the muffled and dumb creatures in the world's full reserve, the unsayable sums, joyfully add yourself, and cancel the count.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Love the questions, themselves.
Rainer Maria Rilke
