Silent Night

To be loved means to be ablaze. To love is: to cast light with inexhaustible oil. To be loved is to pass away; to love is to last ... Rainer Maria Rilke



Tonight, on Christmas Eve, I wish all my blog friends much light, inexhaustible oil, love and everlasting hope on this holiday and always.

    Beautiful sentiments, Lorenzo. Rainer Maria Rilke...you are the third person I've seen to quote him today, he was my lover in another life, you know.

    Feliz Navidad!
