ALT Go to the Limits of Your Longing by Rainer Maria Rilke tr. Joanna Macy & Anita Barrows God speaks to each of us as he makes us, then walks with us silently out of the night. These are the words we dimly hear: You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing. Embody me. Flare up like a flame and make big shadows I can move in.

Give me your hand.
