I Live My Life
I live my life in growing orbits,
which move out over the things of the world.
Perhaps I can never achieve the last,
but that will be my attempt.
I am circling around God, around the ancient tower,
and I have been circling for a thousand years.
And I still don't know if I am a falcon,
Or a storm, or a great song.
Rainer Maria Rilke / 1899
from Book for the Hours of Prayer
translated by Robert Bly

I may have to order the Rilke book. I often see it quoted. Nice photos.
