So That Patterns Are Revealed

In the traffic of our days
may we attend to each thing
so that patterns are revealed
amidst the offerings of chance

Dalveen Pass.

It's the road we take through the hills to connect to the centre.

Stop, step outside, and notice the pattern of the pass.

(The verse is from Rilke, Orchard and Road, in A Year With Rilke, translated and edited by Joanna Macy and Anita Barrows)
