God speaks to each of us as he makes us,
then walks with us silently out of the night.
.
These are words we dimly hear:
.
You, sent out beyond your recall,
go to the limits of your longing.
Embody me.
.
Flare up like flame
and make big shadows I can move in.
.
Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
Just keep going. No feeling is final.
Don't let yourself lose me.
.
Nearby is the country they call life.
You will know it by its seriousnes.
.
Give me your hand.
.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~

My Bruderhoff friend David sent this to me.
