What is required of us...

"What is required of us 

is that we love the difficult
and learn to deal with it.

In the difficult are the friendly forces,
the hands that work on us.

Right in the difficult
we must have our joys, our happiness,
our dreams:
there
against the depth of this background,
they stand out,
there for the first time we see how
beautiful they are."

-Selected Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke
