I thank you, deep power
that works me ever more lightly
in ways I can't make out
The day's labor grows simple now,
and like a holy face
held in my dark hands
 
Rainer Maria Rilke
from the Book of Hours
Translated by Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy

Rilke always has this exact closeness with those minute and enormous subtleties. He and Mary Oliver ....only gratitude.

Enough to make me want to be some rich woman's Castle poet.
