“The quieter we are, the more patient and open we are in our sadnesses, the more deeply and unerringly a new revelation can enter us, and the more we can make it our own. Later on when it “happens” – when it manifests in our response to another person – we will feel it as belonging to our innermost being.”
From Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke, quoted in A Year with Rilke by Joanna Macy and Anita Barrows
