It will not let you fall

"So you must not be frightened if a sadness rises up before you greater than any you have ever known, if a restiveness like light and cloud shadows passes over your hands and over all that you do. You must think that something is happening to you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand; it will not let you fall."
—Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters To A Young Poet

  2. Hi, I would tell her one of your dreams is about
    to come true - don't falter -and don't give
    away your gifts so easily - demand respect
    from lovers & friends.

    Thank you for this provocative post that made
    me think.
