More From Rainer Maria Rilke

The soul must long for god in order to be set aflame by god's love; but if the soul cannot yet feel the longing, then it must long for the longing. to long for the longing is also from god.
Order Long Soul
For paradise we long. for perfection we were made...this longing is the source of the hunger and dissatisfaction that mark our lives...this longing makes our loves and friendships possible, and so very unsatisfactory. the hunger is for...nothing less than perfect communion with the...one in whom all the fragments of our scattered existence come together...we must not stifle this longing. it is a holy dissatisfaction. such dissatisfaction is not a sickness to be healed, but the seed of a promise to be fulfilled...the only death to fear is the death of settling for something less.

Regret Discovery Generosity
What heart has not acknowledged the influence of this hour, the sweet and soothing hour of twilight, the hour of love, the hour of adoration, the hour of rest, when we think of those we love only to regret that we have not loved them more dearly, when we remember our enemies only to forgive them.
