“Hey, you.”
He put his arm across my shoulders. “It’s been so long since I felt really happy. I started feeling it in bits and pieces the day I met you, and you changed everything.
“But today, with everything that has happened, I feel happy not just for me, but because I think June is resting easy. And I have you to thank for it.”
I shook my head. “No, you have your own courage and stamina to thank for it, Elijah. I just sprinkled some fairy dust over all that.”
He chuckled. “So, what are you thinking?”
“I’m thinking once the paper is finished, I’m going to do one more that’ll marry social structures and poets. I never asked you what you thought about my assignment, by the way.”
“The one where you promised you hadn’t done Shakespeare?”
I nodded.
“Well. Let’s just say I wasn’t expecting to read Rilke from one of my students.”
“I love how he writes. How immersive it is and also how real.”
“Just keep going.” Elijah smiled. “I love that line. So much force behind it.”
So, when Rilke wrote the lines, he told his readers to let everything happen.
Including terror. Not just beauty, because beauty was easier to live with. But you had to open your heart and soul to the other parts of life too.
What would it mean if you lived to be eighty, and looking back, you got to say you did things that scared your pants off, but which also made you proud?
What if you embraced every second, every little achievement, and also each failure ?
Because wasn’t that what all of us wanted when it came to being here, together, separate, experiencing all the agony and the ecstasy of our…
Of our endless days, so numbered, yet so infinite.
What if we woke up and decided to actually live each one of them?
Because,
For every apocalypse,
There would always be another genesis.
And I had found mine.
Your turn.
