rainer maria rilke

a few people voiced concern over my last blog entry. i really appreciated that. life is a series of ups and downs, and last night was a pretty big down. but it was brought on because i hadnt spend time with God that day. there is so much going on in my life right now, i can hardly function a single day without going to Him. from todays qt:

psalm 16
(8) i have set the LORD always before me.
because He is at my right hand,
i will not be shaken.
(9) therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices:
my body also will rest secure,
(10) because You will not abandon me to the grave,
nor will You let your faithful one see decay.
(11) You have made known to me the path of life;
You will fill me with joy in Your presence,
with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.

so ive been thinking a bit lately about developing my writing a little more. maybe take a poetry class or something. i really enjoyed the one i took at mit, and its was pretty much what got me started.

inspired by adams comment on yesterdays blog, i decided to go pick up the book of hours: prayers to a lowly God by rainer rilke. this translation has both the english and the original german. i figured adam would appreciate that part. :)

oh, on a semi similar note, you need quicktime 6 to view the short films.

i also picked up a copy of elizabeth bishops collected poems. one of my favorites of hers is the moose. moby had a copy of the same book that i borrowed most of last year and never really got finished with.

and moby is gone. its not fun to see a really close friend leave for a long time. while i was hugging her goodbye, the thought running through my head was, "im not gonna see her for 6 months. suck." but email is a good thing. so are blogs. youre going to keep your blog up, right moby? :)

im gonna go read some rainer rilke now. then some more psalms, and some writing. i think qt's are the best time for me to write.
