I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I've been circling for thousands of years
and I still don't know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?
-Rainier Maria Rilke

Don't ping my cheese with your bandwidth.
He is just dying to use that quote, I swear.
Fantastic poem. Is that the one you told me about last night?
I love it.
I love reading your blog, CAVU. Just wish there were more posts....
Rilke's one of my faves.
