Confession
November 15, 2007
Taken in Big Sur in 2002.
"I confess that I consider life to be a thing of the most untouchable deliciousness, and that even the confluence of so many disasters and deprivations, the exposure of countless fates, everything that insurmountably increased for us over the past few years to become a still rising terror cannot distract me from the fullness and goodness of existence that is inclined toward us. There would be little sense in approaching you with good wishes if each wish were not preceded by this conviction that the goods of life arise pure, undamaged, and, at their very bottom, desirable out of upheaval and ruin." -Rilke
the fullness and goodness of existence that is inclined towards us… how fabulous and true and yet, i lose that conviction some days in the face of the rising terror. thank you darling friend for this quote, today and everyday we need reminding. xx
