 “You need not do anything

Remain sitting at your table and listen

Just wait

And you need not even wait,

Just become quiet and still and solitary

And the world will offer itself to you to

Be unmasked

It has no choice

It will roll in ecstasy at your feet."

~ Rainer Marie Rilke (1875-1926) German poet
