Reflection for August 24, 2016

I believe in all that has never yet been spoken.2016August 24
I want to free what waits within me
so that what 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.

The in these swelling and ebbing currents,
these deepening tides moving out, returning,
I will sing you as no one ever has,
streaming out through ever widening channels
into the open sea.

Rainier Maria Rilke  *Book of Hours* Love Poems to God
