Who Is The One That Counts?

A while back, I gave my heart and soul and sinew to a small business that crashed and burned... I thought I would never recover, but a friend sent me this piece from Austrian poet, Rainer Maria Rilke, "Whoever does not, sometimes or other, give his full consent, his full and joyous consent to the dreadfulness of life, can never take possession of the unutterable abundance and power of our existence; can only walk on its edge, and one day, when the judgment is given, will have been neither alive or dead." It was these words that started my transformation. Roosevelt and Rilke's words are healing though our hardest trials!
