Don't Push Me Away.

I believe,

we will retrieve ourselves from this setback.
we will rediscover our potential.
we will raise our spirits.
we will recapture what we had.
we will stand as one, once again.

We can, if we all work together.

She followed slowly, taking a long time,
as though there were some obstacle in the way;
and yet: as though, once it was overcome,
she would be beyond all walking, and would fly.


- from Going Blind, Rainer Maria Rilke

The Time Traveler's Wife. Beautiful.
