Footprints in the Windsm # 2470–The need for strangers
Footprints in the Windsm # 2470
It is more than Rilke’s becoming a world in response to another. It is true as he says we probably cannot merge (I take it, in the sense of disappearing) into our other—we can only be ourself. Yet I think that we need that fully human self to enter into this together state with our other. We are never finished meeting. We are never finished growing. So we need to ever uncover and affirm that we are and need to be strangers.
Please pass it on.
