life has not forgotten you (or me)
So you must not be frightened if a sadness rises up before you larger
than any you have ever seen; if a restiveness, like light and
cloudshadows, passes over your hands and over all you do. You must think
that something is happening with you, that life has not forgotten you,
that it holds you in its hand; it will not let you fall. Why do you want
to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any miseries, or any
depressions? For after all, you do not know what work these conditions
are doing inside you.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
