Just Stuff.

"Things are not all as graspable and sayable as on the whole we are led to believe; most events are unsayable, occur in a space that no word has ever penetrated, and most unsayable of all are works of art, mysterious existences whose life endures alongside ours, which passes away."  --Ranier Maria Rilke

I've been savoring Letters to a Young Poet by Rilke.  It just doesn't get better.  How ridiculously inspiring is this quote?  I find myself restraining from underlining every single sentence.  If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it.  Its not a poetry book, its a life book.

Its been a good day.  I moved, and walked back and forth from my old flat to my new flat four times.  Sometimes (actually always) my stuff amazes me.

I finally uploaded the last of my pictures from South Africa, which was both a nice revisit, and incredibly difficult.  So I'll leave you with this video from a festival I went to last October...  p.s. if you're new to my ramblings, and you're wondering about my time in Cape Town, my last semester blog can be found here
