1. Notes: 466 / 1 year ago  from liquidnight
   "I am too alone in the world, and yet not alone enough
   to make every hour holy.
   I am too small in the world, and yet not tiny enough
   just to stand before you like a thing,
   dark and shrewd.
   I want my will, and I want to be with my will
   as it moves towards deed;
   and in those quiet, somehow hesitating times,
   when something is approaching,
   I want to be with those who are wise
   or else alone."
   - Rainer Maria Rilke, from The Book of Hours from liquidnight
