"If you will cling to Nature, to the simple in Nature, to
the little things that hardly anyone sees, and that can so
unexpectedly become big and beyond measuring; if
you have this love of inconsiderable things and seek
quite simply, as one who serves, to win the confidence
of what seems poor: then everything will become easier,
more coherent and somehow more conciliatory for
you, not in your intellect perhaps,which lags marveling
behind, but in your inmost consciousness, waking and
cognizance." Rainer Maria Rilke
