I find you in all these things of the world
that I love calmly, like a brother;
in things no one care for, you brood like a seed;
and to powerful things you give an immense power.
Strength plays such a marvelous game—
it moves through the things of the world like a servant,
groping out in roots, tapering in trunks
and in the treetops like a rising from the dead.
~ Selected Poems of Rainer Maria Rilke, translated by Robert Bly
