Wanderer above the Sea of Fog - Caspar David Friedrich.

“We have no reason to mistrust our world, for it is not against us. Has it terrors, they are our terrors; has it abysses, those abysses belong to us; are dangers at hand, we must try to love them. And if only we arrange our life according to that principle which counsels us that we must always hold to the difficult, then that which now still seems to us the most alien will become what we most trust and find most faithful.”

- R. Maria Rilke, Fear of the Inexplicable 

Initial

Out of infinite desires rise

finite deeds like weak fountains

that fall back in early trembling arcs.

But those, which otherwise in us

keep hidden, our happy strengths—

they come forth in these dancing tears.

“I live my life in growing rings
which move out over the things around me.
Perhaps I’ll never complete the last,
but that’s what I mean to try.”

~Rainer Maria Rilke
