Lord: it is time. The huge summer has gone by.
Now overlap the sundials with your shadows,
and on the meadows let the wind go free.from “Autumn Day” by Rainer Maria Rilke

Problems: Writing My Way to the Root
How are you doing? I’m fine. No, really, how are you? I’m depressed. I want to scream, but instead, I sigh. I sigh all day long… I’m headachy, like a cold is coming on. My eyes are bloodshot. I don’t sleep. “You sound crazy, Maery.” I know. That’s why I’ve been censoring myself. I feel…

Thank you for posting the beautiful poem. I felt compelled to read it in its entirety. I found 2 translations of it on line – in a way, it was like 2 completely different poems. I prefer the version that you posted – more terse, but each word more full of meaning.

Thank you for all of your interesting posts and pictures you have done over the years. They are much appreciated.
Thank you Sandra!I’m glad you enjoyed it.
