Remembrance

Listen to: I Have Loved You Wrong - The Swell Season

This is my 666th post. Interesting.

So it's the New Year.

2010 has been...eventful. I've done things I shouldn't have.

I'm sorry.

Happy New Year.

Remembrance by Rainer Maria Rilke

And you wait, expecting that one thing
that your life endlessly shall multiply;
that one powerful, immense thing,
the awakening of stones,
depths, coming back to you.
Volumes of gold and brown emerge
as dawn out of the bookshelves;
and you reflect upon lands traveled through,
on images, on the garments
of women lost once again.

And then suddenly you realize: that was it.
You rise up and before you stands
the fear and shape and prayer
of a year gone by.
