gcrumb: Well, that's easy to fix. (Or at least I think that's the full text. I can't tell for sure!) And thanks for your confirmation that I'm on the right track. leah: Thanks! And good to see you're still around here. I hadn't heard from you for a while! Carrie: Yes, :-) !

Letters To A Young Poet is one of the best books I've never read. Over the course of decades I keep coming across quotations from the book. Every single one of them makes me want to drop everything and start reading it. Unfortunately, I've never found it in a book store, and (now) I don't/can't do Amazon. All I'll say with regards to the rest of the post is: Good. That's the way people are supposed to feel. Feeling that way all the time is impossible, but consistently acting as if it were true is eminently achievable. 8^)

Wonderful post. I’m glad you wrote it (and thanks for the Rilke quote – it speaks to me quite perfectly at the present!).
