Yes it is truly a good day - I am envious. I would love to begin and end my day with Camellias. I haven't read Rainer Maria Rilke's poems for a long while - they always make me think, question, wonder.

That first Rilke poem is a favorite of mine: how even a fragment of genuine Art is not "just" pretty but, even, confrontational, world-changing . . . like camellias opening up in January.

"Unfolding" is a lovely image--so are the camellias.

Kate, I hadn't thought of Rilke in awhile either - and this was a poem that I had missed out on altogether.

John B., you know, your comment made me think this tomorrow about how little time I spend interpreting the poetry that I present here. I do a bit, to myself at times, but definitely not directly - and perhaps I feel inadequate in that regards. I feel as if it's been years since I've been part of those types of discussion. That's ashame, really.
