Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 A friend sent me this poem by Rainer Maria Rilke a few days ago. She said it reminds her of Realization.org. She happened to send it the same day that Leaf announced to us that God isn't a person. Nothing is too small for me, but I love it even so, and paint it huge on gold cloth, and hold it high, and I don't know whose soul it may set free.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 lol, there's even more synchronicity here than I realized. I mistranslated the poem. It actually says " gold size, " not " gold cloth. " Gold size is the varnish on which gilders place gold leaf. So the poem really says: Nothing is too small for me, but I love it even so, and paint it huge in gold leaf, and hold it high, and I don't know whose soul it may set free. Rhymes better that way, too. - " Rob Sacks " <editor <Realization > Saturday, September 01, 2001 8:26 AM A poem > A friend sent me this poem by Rainer > Maria Rilke a few days ago.
