from Rilke: I love the dark hours of my being

Listening for Visions

I love the dark hours of my being.

My mind deepens into them.

There I can find, as in old letters,

the days of my life, already lived,

and held like a legend, and understood.

Then knowing comes:  I can open

to another life that’s wide and timeless.

—Rainer Maria Rilke, The Book of Hours I,5
