Remembering by Rilke

aperfectcommotion:

And you wait. You wait for the one thing
that will change your life,
make it more than it is—
something wonderful, exceptional,
stones awakening, depths opening to you.

In the dusky bookstalls
old books glimmer gold and brown.
You think of lands you journeyed through,
of paintings and a dress once worn
by a woman you never found again.

And suddenly you know: that was enough.
You rise and there appears before you
in all its longings and hesitations
the shape of what you lived.

As a kid she was scared she would lose her imagination over the years, that real life would eventually kick in, that she would become one of those boring adults she saw everywhere around her. Luckily for her, her imagination only seemed to grow as she got older. Now…

She still thinks about him a lot. They never said goodbye, they just stopped talking. That’s how she knows it is a permanent goodbye. Permanent goodbyes are rarely said out loud and almost never explained. They just are. He knew, and so did she, that they couldn’t be friends anymore after what…

The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – that you’d thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you’ve never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it’s as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.

What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.

There are always moments that stick with you. Unmemorable moments remembered. She remembers a moment from about three years ago. It was a cloudy afternoon, just getting dark. She was walking back home from school, and this feeling of loss washed over her, like she had grown old and all of a sudden…
