By Rainer Maria Rilke

God speaks to each of us as he makes us,

Go to the limits of your longing,
Embody me.

Flare up like flame
And make big shadows I can move in.

Let everything happen to you; beauty and terror.

1) I love Rilke.

2) Oliver Danni told me about you and he thought I would like you. I'm also UU, but I live in Indiana. I do continental stuff mostly these days.

3) There was some other reason why he thought we would get along well, but I've forgotten it.

1. Rilke is wonderful to be sure
2. Any friend of Oliver's is a friend of mine, and I always like to meet new UU's
3. I'm friending you right now.
