Snuble over Rilkedikt

snu seg, undersøke, finne et spor, lete etter det du trenger.

Idag kom jeg over et dikt av Rainer Marie Rilke. Om det er til trøst for noen, vet jeg ikke. Kanskje en og annen linje til en slags oppmuntring: "In this uncontainable night, be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses..."

Quiet friend who has come so far,
fell how your breathing makes more space around you,
Let this darkness be a bell tower
and you the bell. As you ring,

what batters you becomes your strength.
Move back and forth into the change.
What is it like, such intensity of pain?
If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine.

And if the world has ceased to hear you,
say to the silent earth,: I flow.
To the rushing water: I am.
