i was gifted this book & besides my journal and lipgloss, it is the only thing i take with me everywhere all the time no matter what. Rilke wrote beautiful & profound letters to a student of his, though it feels like he wrote them to me, to you, to us. it touches me on an artistic level, but it is also very much a book that pokes at spirituality & existentialism in a way that makes u reach inside yourself to find what already inherently exists inside of u. thx Zander for the gift :â)

I bring this on every trip like itâs a bible ahah. He talks about beauty, pain, love, solitude, nature through the lens of patience and practice and âliving your way into the answersâ. The perspectives really resonate with me I think cause theyâre so raw + complex, but also warm + nourishing

There are a lot of creatives on this app, and a lot of voices in our world telling us how to live, and how to create. i find rilkes to be the most straightforward. Its only about 20 pages, I really urge everyone who makes anything to give it a read (I linked a pdf)

i used to feel guilty for taking long walks in the morning bc i always felt like i placed my value in my output, & walking wasnât something i considered âproductiveâ :///
when i finally gave myself permission to let whatever i felt called to do be productive, the flow of creative ideas, mental soundness & nervous system regulation i felt was overwhelming. in a good way. the sun, the fresh air, the forward movement of my body, the people watching⊠everything fed the positive energy i seemingly kept for the rest of my day. walking is productive. so is being in the sun. so is doing nothing sometimes. i need that reminder sometimes so this post is for me too :â)
