“Take time as nothing but a tiny step within
the presence of the infinite.” —poet Ranier Maria Rilke
A Rare Breed
Each day is a triumph.
Each moment a miracle.
Each breath a blessing.
Have no desire for the endless
fetters and trinkets of the
man-made world.
Have no need to involve yourself
with the excessive commotion
of modernity.
Simply want to live out the remaining
days of life tucked back in a place
where the “flowers flaunt their fragrance”
and “every fruit demands a kiss.”
A secluded place in nature where
the call of life never ends.
A place, once again,
to call home.
