I remember reading the Duino Elegies in the chill of October around Wichita TX just off the set of the documentary we were shooting. Trying to steal away and focus and let this be a part of me, as it turned out it was, really without my trying, throughout my 20s..I was then 26. Every encounter held that promise and drive, yet clear as I saw it, and as much a part of my thoughts, so many obstacles...something miserly and fierce resisting...
"For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation." -- Rainer Maria Rilke
