the Great Returning … (04/07/11)

“I want to free what waits within me, so that what no one has yet dared wish for may for once spring clear … If this is arrogant, God, forgive me, but this is what I need to say:  May what I do flow from me like a river; no forcing and no holding back … the way it is with children.

Then in these swelling and ebbing currents, these deepening tides moving out & returning, I will sing to you as no one ever has … streaming through ever-widening channels, back into the open sea.”

~ Rainer Maria Rilke
