Walker's Daily

A Walk

Already my gaze is upon the hill, the sunny one,
at the end of the path which I\'ve only just begun.
So we are grasped, by that which we could not grasp,
at such great distance, so fully manifest--

and it changes us, even when we do not reach it,
into something that, hardly sensing it, we already are;
a sign appears, echoing our own sign...
But what we sense is the falling winds.

Rainer Maria Rilke (tr.Cliff Crego)
(Muzot, the Alps, March, 1924)

Not the alps, it's still Bremen's Bürgerpark, on an early morning in February. Sorry ;-) But somehow both the pic and the season reminded me on the poem.

Have a lovely day!
