I can't make every minute holy.
I don't want to stand before you
like a thing, shrewd and secretive.
I want my own will,
and I want simply to be with my will,
as it goes toward action,
and in the silent,
sometimes hardly moving times,
when something is coming near.
I want to be with those who
know secret things or else alone.
I want to unfold
I don't want to be folded anywhere,
because where I am folded,
there I am a lie.
~Rainer Rilke
