“A billion stars go spinning through the night, blazing high above your head. But in you is the presence that will be, when the stars are dead.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Rilke has always been one of my most favorite German-speaking writers, dear Jean-Jacques. Hence, my post. However, I owe everyone whose reaction equals yours a personal insight on the quote: It is a hope. I am grateful to you as always for your comment also to this rather generic post. Best wishes, dear friend. (My own writings are upcoming …)

Thank you, dearest Jean-Jacques! I have one poetry book and one short story book in rough drafts at the moment but am significantly short on time. Upcoming, for sure. I hope you are writing more of your memorable poetry?!
