Joseph Campbell is one of my all time favorite teachers - he wrote: "Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived...It's not the agony of the quest, but the rapture of the revelation...You ARE that mystery which you are seeking to know."<br />Thanks, as always, billie, for sharing :)forever in blue jeans, Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971214086040974793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-8616427192436876682010-03-19T08:36:58.043-05:002010-03-19T08:36:58.043-05:00That's a nice coincidence.

I was reading Rilke yesterday morning - the first verse:<br /><br />Everything beckons to us to perceive it,<br />murmurs at every turn, "Remember me!"<br />A day we passed, too busy to receive it,<br />will yet unlock us all its treasury.<br /><br />I love Rilke and I love how poetry slows me down, make the moment seem longer.<br /><br />MáireMáirehttp://poniesathome.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-19840778109093406982010-03-18T17:16:34.057-05:002010-03-18T17:16:34.057-05:00Exactly what I needed to hear.
