Quotation
How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples,
the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons
of our lives are princesses, who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.
Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.
So you must not be frightened, if a sadness rises up before you larger than
any you have ever seen; if a restiveness, like light and cloud-shadows, passes over your hands
and over all you do. You must think that something is happening with you, that life
has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand; it will not let you fall. . . .
Rainer Maria Rilke ( From 'Letters to a young poet')
Happy Valentines day - no matter if it's celebrating love you have, reminicing love you had or anticipating love to come.
