Big enough to hold the weight of oceans and the turning stars. Whole universes fit in there! But what do we choose to keep in this miraculous cabinet? Little broken things, sad trinkets that we play with over and over. The world turns our key and we play the same little tune again and again and we think that tune’s all we are.””

When I have a thought about you, that’s something I’ve created. I’ve turned you into an idea. In a certain sense, if I have an idea about you that I believe, I’ve degraded you. I’ve made you into something very small. This is the way of human beings, this is what we do to each other.”

I am the unknowingness
of an unknown mystery.
If you want to know something,
go elsewhere.
If you want to un-know everything,
then sit and listen.

The silence inside of you
is the sound of your knowledge collapsing.
Remember, it is you who said,
“I want to be free.”

Earth, isn’t this what you want? To arise in us, invisible?

Is it not your dream, to enter us so wholly
there’s nothing left outside us to see?

What, if not transformation,
is your deepest purpose? Earth, my love,
I want it too. Believe me,
no more of your springtimes are needed
to win me over—even one flower
is more than enough. Before I was named
I belonged to you. I see no other law
but yours, and know I can trust
the death you will bring.

See, I live. On what?
Childhood and future are equally present.
Sheer abundance of being
floods my heart.

”

– RILKE
From the Ninth Duino Elegy
