She chose New Poems (1908) - the Other Part by Rainer Maria Rilke, translated by Edward Snow. Here is a link to Autumn Day translated by Snow from New Poems. At this site you will find the original in German, along with 5 other translations of Autumn Day for comparison.

Rilke, Rainer Maria
http://www.wist.info/ r/ rilke_rainer_maria/ 023818.htmlWhat is required of us is that we love the difficult and learn to deal with it. In the difficult are the friendly forces, the hands that work on us. Right in the difficult we must have our joys, our happiness, our dreams: there against the depth of this background, they stand out, there for the first time we see how beautiful they are.

learn to love the question
http://kissing.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 03/ learn-to-love/. Shunryu Suzuki Roshi (1904-1971), founder and long-time teacher at San Francisco Zen Center, told us that ”in the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities but in the expert’s there are few.” With that line–by now a classic–the teacher throws us back to the question that underlies everything: Who am I?

Rilke, Rainer Maria
http://www.wist.info/ r/ rilke_rainer_maria/ 023766.htmlNo one can advise or help you — no one. There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.

Rilke, Rainer Maria
http://www.wist.info/ r/ rilke_rainer_maria/ 023725.htmlBe patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything.

Flowers=springtime feelings!

News flash: area introvert craves more emotional attachment
http://www.dandickinson.com/ wordpress/ ?p=2826While I sat at Fran’s eating breakfast I read a few pages of Catherine Gildener’s Too Close To The Falls. After a few pages a woman, maybe a few years younger than me, who’d been sitting across from me with (I assume) her boyfriend/husband, came over to my table.

If You Are a Dreamer, Come In....
http://anam-cara.typepad.com/ anam_cara/ 2008/ 04/ thoughts-that-b.htmlIf you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, A wisher, a liar, A hoper, a prayer, A magic bean buyer. If You're a pretender, Come sit by my fire, For we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in! So opens one of my most treasured collections of poems by Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends.
