Rilke on the Relationship Between Solitude, Love, Sex, and Creativity

The kindest hands aren't the ones trying to stop time; they're the ones that know every living thing is only ever passing through them.

What falls away with certainty isn't necessarily direction, because living systems have always moved through conditions they couldn't predict, a momentum toward life that precedes explanation.

There's a version of engagement with the world's problems that runs on obligation and dread — and it burns through people. Macy noticed this early and kept returning to the same alternative: find what calls your heart and do that. Not because it's easier, but because that's where the energy that actually sustains itself lives.
The scale doesn't change. The source does.

Rilke on the Relationship Between Solitude, Love, Sex, and Creativity
-
This names a quiet kind of resistance.
When a political economy depends on manufactured insufficiency, taking stock of what’s already present becomes a way of loosening its hold. Not to deny difficulty — but to stop feeding the reflexes that keep us running.
Unlearning often begins by noticing what we’ve been taught to overlook.

"The Shambhala Warrior Prophecy" • Joanna Macy
https://oneearthsangha.org/articles/the-shambala-warrior-prophecy/
> «There comes a time when all life on Earth is in danger. In that time great powers have arisen. Barbarian powers as they’re called. And although they waste their wealth in preparations to annihilate each other, they have much in common. And among the things they have in common are weapons of unfathomable, destructive power and technologies that lay waste to the world. It is just at this point, when the future of all beings hangs by the frailest of threads, that the kingdom of Shambhala emerges.
> Now, you can’t go there, because it’s not a place. It exists in the hearts and minds of the Shambhala warriors. And you can’t tell whether someone is a Shambhala warrior just by looking at them because they wear no uniform or insignia. They have no banners to show which side they’re on, no barricades on which to climb to threaten the enemy or behind which they can rest and regroup. The Shambhala warriors don’t have any home turf. There is only the terrain of the barbarian powers for them to move on, regroup, and use.»

#JoannaMacy passed on July 19th. Plum Village has reposted a moving episode in her memory. 🪷🕯️🙏🏼
"A scholar of #Buddhism, systems theory, and deep ecology, Joanna Macy (1929 -2025), PhD, was one of the most respected voices in the movements for #peace, #justice, and #ecology. She interweaved her scholarship with learnings from six decades of #activism, had written twelve books, and laught an empowerment approach known as the Work That Reconnects."

"Über die Zeit wurde mir bewusst, wie wichtig es ist, nicht aus Angst, sondern aus #Liebe und #Verbundenheit zu handeln – für unsere Mitmenschen und den Planeten. Das macht für mich genussvollen Aktivismus aus. Mich aus dem Gefühl der #Verbundenheit heraus für den #Klimaschutz einzusetzen und Entscheidungen für mein Leben zu treffen, gibt mir viel mehr Freude."
