Rainer Maria Rilke Grasp Quotations

When I saw others straining toward God, I did not understand it, for though I may have had him less than they did, there was no one blocking the way between him and me, and I could reach his heart easily. It is up to him, after all, to have us, our part consists of almost solely in letting him grasp us.

I feel it now...there's a power in me to grasp and give shape to my world. I know that nothing has ever been real without my beholding it.
