Thoughts: Rilke, the words behind the words…
Do not assume that she
who seeks to comfort you now,
lives untroubled among
the simple and quiet words
that sometimes do you good.
Her life may also have much
sadness and difficulty
that remains far beyond yours.
Were it otherwise,
she would never have been
able to find these words…..
Rainer Maria Rilke
