What if you lived from your greatest joy? What would your life look like?
This poem by Marie Ranier Rilke speaks to the desire to live and share so deeply, fully…
“I believe in all that has never yet been spoken.
I want to free what waits within me
so that which no one has dared to wish for
may for once spring clear without my contriving.
If this is arrogant, God, forgive me,
but this is what I need to say.
May what I do flow from me like a river,
no forcing and no holding back,
the way it is with children.
Then in these swelling and ebbing currents,
these deepening tides moving out returning,
I will sing to you as no one ever has,
Streaming through widening channels
into the open sea.”
