Rilke.

Stumbled across the following quote randomly a few years ago on a discussion forum, and it's interestingly relevant to me at this point in my life.

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.
- Rainer Maria Rilke

I wish I'd remembered, and lived by, the essence of these words. It would have saved me a lot of grief. Nonetheless, it isn't too late to take them to heart.

Have a great Wednesday.
