I have noticed when I post anything particularly spiritual to Facebook, people don't give a damn - unless it is cliched and easily understood - not that that can't be useful - or unless it is controversial, which I don't generally do on Facebook. 

One of my favorite poets is Rainer Maria Rilke, but in my way I often go for years without remembering that someone is a favorite. Yesterday, I was reading a series of excerpts from Rilke's writings and fell in love all over again. I think he was a kindred spirit - and don't we somehow find them?

“I am circling around God, around the ancient tower, and I have been circling for a thousand years, and I still don't know if I am a falcon, or a storm, or a great song.” 


~ Rilke, Rainer Maria
