The trick to physical recovery is not overdoing. It's so easy to feel good and think you can conquer the world. I may have done too much conquering. Tomorrow I will rest. A Rilke poem today. Sending you my love. xoxo
We are the driving ones
by Rainer Maria Rilke, translation Stephen Mitchell
We are the driving ones.
Ah, but the step of time:
think of it as a dream
in what forever remains.
All that is hurrying
soon will be over with;
only what lasts can bring
us to the truth.
Young men, don't put your trust
into the trials of flight,
into the hot and quick.
All things already rest:
darkness and morning light,
flower and book.
