Rilke Solstice Poem

Here is a Rilke poem sent by Steve for the season. This is a time to rejoice in the return of the light, however that light may be represented for you. To view the poem with music follow the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_82q4J5gskI&feature=related


You, sent out beyond your recall,
Go to the limits of your longing.
Embody me.

Flare up like a flame
and make big shadows I can move in.

Let everything happen to you:
Beauty and terror.
Just keep going. No feeling is final.
Don't let yourself lose me.

Nearby is the country they call life
You will know it by its seriousness.
Give me your hand.
