[You don't have to understand Life's nature... ]

You don't have to understand Life's nature,
then it becomes a grand affair.
Let every day just of itself occur
like a child walks away from every hurt
and happens upon the gift of many flowers. [...]

Rainer Maria Rilke (tr. Clif Crego)

"Flowers are to the
background green
of meadow and forest
what a poem is to the
constant chatter of sounds
which surrounds us.
How strikingly beautiful
they are, these centers
where essences
converge."
