Marine Blues On Moist Rocks Near a Mountain Stream — Image by kenne

Butterflies on moist rocks,
suddenly the world makes sense.

Color speaking to color,
wing touching wind.

Yes, I think—
this is how things work.

Then, the butterflies lift,
vanish off the rocks,

and the rocks stand alone
with their quiet question.

I get it.
Then I don’t.

Come up here with me

There’s plenty to go around

My little blue friend.

Be patient toward all that is unsolved . . .   1 comment

“Be patient toward all that
is unsolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves,
like locked rooms and like books that are
now written in a very foreign tongue.
Do not now seek the answers,
which cannot be given you because
you would not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps you will then gradually,
without noticing it, live along
some distant day into the answer.”

— Rainer Maria Rilke
