"May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.

Then in these swelling and ebbing currents, these deepening tides, moving out, returning, I will sing you as no one ever has,

streaming through widening channels into the open sea"

Rainer Maria Rilke
