pure direction of the heart
Property is poverty and fear; only to have possessed something and to have let go of it means carefree ownership!
.....
Be out of sync with your time for just one day, and you will see how much eternity you contain within.
.....
One ought to turn the most extreme possibility inside oneself into the measure for one's life, for our life is vast and can accommodate as much future as we are able to carry.
.....
It is, after all, one strength within the human with which we achieve everything, a single steadfastness and pure direction of the heart. Whoever possesses that strength ought not to lose himself to fear.
Rilke
