The Most Difficult Task of All

Posted on Jun 4th, 2008 by Tansau : Aiki Explorer Tansau

For one human being to love another:
that is perhaps the most difficult task of all…
the work for which all other work is but a preparation.
It is a high inducement to the individual to ripen…
a great exacting claim upon us, something
that chooses us out and calls us to great things.
-- Rainer Maria Rilke

well spoken.  This involves compassion, total understanding, and a welcoming heart.  Not easy attributes to possess all at once.

all poets are secretly philosophers of life.
