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?
~ Ranier Maria Rilke ~
(Rilke’s Book of Hours:Love Poems to
God, translated by Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy)
