Up: [[Image]] Created: 2023-02-10 The space within us reaches out, translates each thing. For the essence of a tree to be real for you, cast inner space around it, out of the space that exists in you. Encircle it with restraint. It has no borders. Only in the realm of your renouncing can it, as tree, be known. > [!User] [[Rainer Maria Rilke]] in *Uncollected Poems*; sourced Feb. 10 in *A Year with Rilke*
