Dear Ones,
I apologize for not keeping up on daily quotes. Life if rich and full and sometimes we just don’t get to all we would like to accomplish.
In April I will be covering the People’s Climate Change and Mother Earth’s Rights Conference in Bolivia and will keep you updated.
I will continue to post poems and quotations intermittently…
May your heart be filled with eternal love, grace and compassion for all life…
Blessings to you on Valentine’s Day and every day!
Love,
michael
Lovers
Lovers, you who are for a while
sufficient to each other,
help me understand who we are.
You hold each other. Have you proof?
See, my hands hold each other too.
I put my used-up face in them.
It helps me feel known.
Just from that, can we believe we endure?
You, however, who increase
through each other’s delight,
you who ripen in each other’s hands
like greapes in a vintage year:
I’m asking you
who we are.
You touch one another so reverently’
as thought your caresses
could keep each place they cover
from disappearing. As though, underneath, you could sense
that which will always exist.
So, as you embrace, you promise each other eternity.
Rainer Maria Rilke
