Rilke lives ……

My favorite Poet was a German nobleman who stepped away from that life to explore the lives of others from all of society…..to write about those who are impoverished…..one must become poor ….. he could write about elitism he knew that life and both embraced it and rejected it as he experienced life in the different stratus of the world 🌎 of his time…..

stepping away from our inherited circumstances is the only way one can experience the lives of others….whatever they are…….

the buffer of privilege has its limits as well as the day to day lives of the poor……but one would never realize that unless…..

Rilke lives………in me
