Love the questions themselves...Live the questions now and have confidence that someday far into the future, [I will live my] way into the answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Now for some heartwork.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Everything that makes more of you than you have ever been, even in your best hours, is right. Every intensification is good.
Rainer Maria Rilke
If we surrendered to earth’s intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees. Instead we entangle ourselves in knots of our own making and struggle, lonely and confused. So like children, we begin again... to fall, patiently to trust our heaviness. Even a bird has to do that before he can fly. (from the poem How Sure Gravity's Law)
Rainer Maria Rilke
There are no classes in life for beginners right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult.
Rainer Maria Rilke
All this hurrying soon will be over. Only when we tarry do we touch the holy.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I am like a child who awakes At the light, so safe and secureFree from night's fears when dawn breaks, In Thee I am ever secure.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I learn it every day of my life, learn it with pain I am grateful for: patience is everything!
Rainer Maria Rilke
My art is representational by choice....if the art of painting is to survive, it must describe and express people, their lives and times. It must communicate.
Rainer Maria Rilke
...a carefree letting go of oneself, not a caution, but a wise blindness.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows.
Rainer Maria Rilke
What keeps you from... living your life as a painful and lovely day in the history of a great pregnancy?
Rainer Maria Rilke
Just keep going - no feeling is final.
Rainer Maria Rilke
One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The only sadnesses that are dangerous and unhealthy are the ones that we carry around in public in order to drown them out with the noise.
Rainer Maria Rilke
What we fight with is so small, and when we win, it makes us small. What we want is to be defeated, decisively, by successively greater things
Rainer Maria Rilke
To work is to live without dying.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Dying is strange and hard if it is not our death, but a death that takes us by storm, when we've ripened none within us.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Every happiness is the child of a separation it did not think it could survive.
Rainer Maria Rilke
