“You must believe that something is happening to you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand. It shall not let you fall.“

I understand the hype!! This is so beautiful and just what I needed. Simple in theme but contemplative and warmly inspiring. 
So excited to read more of his work now

"It is the same everywhere; but that is no reason for anxiety or depression; if there is no communion between other people and yourself, try to be near things, which will not desert you; the nights are still there, and the winds that go through the trees and over many lands..."

I wish I read these letters a year ago. Everything I need for my soul is in this book, a repulsive cover with such a sweet filling. I can see myself going back to this, year after year, randomly picking out letters to soothe my spirit. I'm so glad I discovered Rilke, he is the finest balm for loneliness.

"Be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. Perhaps you do carry within yourself the possibility of shaping and forming as a particularly happy and pure way of living; train yourself to it - but take whatever comes with great trust, and if only it comes out of your own will, out of some need of your inmost being, take it upon yourself and hate nothing."
