I Am Much Too Alone in This World, Yet Not Alone

by Rainer Maria Rilke
translated by Annemarie S. Kidder

I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone
enough
to truly consecrate the hour.
I am much too small in this world, yet not small
enough
to be to you just object and thing,
dark and smart.
I want my free will and want it accompanying
the path which leads to action;
and want during times that beg questions,
where something is up,
to be among those in the know,
or else be alone.

I want to mirror your image to its fullest perfection,
never be blind or too old
to uphold your weighty wavering reflection.
I want to unfold.
Nowhere I wish to stay crooked, bent;
for there I would be dishonest, untrue.
I want my conscience to be
true before you;
want to describe myself like a picture I observed
for a long time, one close up,
like a new word I learned and embraced,
like the everday jug,
like my mother's face,
like a ship that carried me along
through the deadliest storm.

You cannot escape the results of your thoughts. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain or rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration.
James Lane Allen

We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can and surely will at times fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk ~ Joyce Brothers

Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all ~ Ovid

If you love large, you've got to hurt large. If you've got a lot of light, you've probably got an equal amount of darkness ~ Sarah McLachlan

Your weak point is the open, vulnerable place where you can always be hurt. Love, in all its aspects, opens the self so fully ~ Jeanette Winterson

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead ~ Bertrand Russell

"What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course!”

"No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they're pretty, even if they aren't."

~Marilyn Monroe

"It's always darkest before it turns absolutely pitch black."

-Paul Newman

True hope dwells on the possible, even when life seems to be a plot written by someone who wants to see how much adversity we can overcome. True hope responds to the real world, to real life; it is an active effort.
-Walter Anderson

A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror – Ken Keyes, Jr.

Janstevie · 07-21-2010, 10:33 AM

It's hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone, when your heart still does.

PinkieLee · 07-21-2010, 12:18 PM

Conquer the devils with a little thing called love ~ Bob Marley

“A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged, it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and the time in which it is used.”

Spirit Dancer · 07-21-2010, 10:41 PM

“Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.”
(Letters to a Young Poet)
~Rainer Maria Rilke

Spirit Dancer · 07-21-2010, 10:43 PM

“I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend: the city of the Men of Numenor; and I would have her loved for her memory, her ancientry, her beauty, and her present wisdom. Not feared, save as men may fear the dignity of a man, old and wise.'
(The Window on the West)
~J.R.R Tolkien
