Poem for Holy Monday

Ich lebe mein Leben in wachsenden Ringen

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 year
and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?


—Rainer Maria Rilke
