Hi

Journal Entry: Thu May 28, 2009, 1:28 PM
I hope this note finds you all well. We had a lovely time on our road trip: quite a few moments where I felt my heart swept away. To give you a sense of what went through me, I found two of Rilke's poems to share... I hope you enjoy them and thank you so much for wishing us both well.

Much love as always,

D.

[Along the sun-drenched roadside, from the great]

Along the sun-drenched roadside, from the great
hollow half-treetrunk, which for generations
has been a trough, renewing in itself
an inch or two of rain, I satisfy
my thirst: taking the water's pristine coolness
into my whole body through my wrists.
Drinking would be too powerful, too clear;
but this unhurried gesture of restraint
fills my whole consciousness with shining water.

Thus, if you came, I could be satisfied
to let my hand rest lightly, for a moment,
lightly, upon your shoulder or your breast.


Translated by Stephen Mitchell

A Walk

My eyes already touch the sunny hill.
going far ahead of the road I have begun.
So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp;
it has inner light, even from a distance-

and changes us, even if we do not reach it,
into something else, which, hardly sensing it,
we already are; a gesture waves us on
answering our own wave...
but what we feel is the wind in our faces.
