Infinite distance

Posted on May 17, 2020 by Enchanted Seashells by Princess Rosebud

“Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.” Rainer Maria Rilke

I love that passage from Rilke about powerful witness about the interstice that brings things/people into relationship with one another. The passage and the image wonderfully Pair together and grow that side by side he expresses.
