Shortly after I moved to Grass Valley, I heard two poets on our local radio station KVMR discussing the Rainer Maria Rilke poem I Live My Life in Widening Circles.  They talked as if everyone knew this poem.  I had never heard it, but it stayed with me.  I thought I would share it today with some images from 2010.

 

I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.

I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I've been circling for thousands of years
and I still don't know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?

– Rainer Maria Rilke
