Believe in Love

“Believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.” 
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

   We take many trips in life that separate us from the people and things  we love . But Rilke speaks of  love that transcends the physical limitations of the body. This kind of love surrounds you and is stored inside you. This kind of love has no borders of the body to confine its dimensions. It's height and width and breath follow you wherever you go.   

   How is this special aspect of love achieved that it follows you wherever you go and is abundant enough to always be there? It is because you believe and dream about it. Hope follows you everywhere and provides the source of this special form of love.
