A poem from the Bodhicitta retreat this weekend

Many thanks for Christy for a wonderful Bodhicitta retreat this weekend!

Here’s a poem from the retreat:
 
I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.
 
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I’ve been circling for thousands of years
and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?
 
~Rainer Maria Rilke~
from Rilke’s Book of Hours, I, 2
