One of the core themes I love in much of Rilka's work that really centralizes all his main thoughts is his employment of empathy through contrasts and his style focuses on metaphors and contradictions. He brings out the subtle interplay between doubt and disbelief, but also the search and touching into tender matters. He also includes a lot of mystical undertones which create this almost airy feel to the open questions like the first line to this poem opens who says that all must vanish?
And if one believes an angel, that an angel would want to wear that richness that garment after the fact, I think that really changes things because sometimes maybe it's just me that sometimes that the moment is rich and amazing to me and there's satisfaction in that great satisfaction

It's just there's something evocative in that image, something that stirs the imagination and something that gives it a worth beyond the mundane existence of extracting importance or meaning from what we live. But there is almost a mystical transcendence in what we understand and learn from that and what we feel through it. So, yeah, I'm with you, girl. This piece really spoke to me too, so I just had to share it. And I really enjoy Relca and all of his complexity
I mean, even the idea that we're made of stardust, when you think about the nutrients in the ground that feed the foods that we grow and then consume, and just all of the connectedness of it and again the fleetiness of it, there's amazing beauty there. And thank you for talking a little bit about the poem that we've that really helped
