It is possible to dust myself off and begin again writing poems. Perhaps this is a self-defeating attitude but I do fear that at this point my poetry will never reach the pinnacles it may have reached if I had not stopped. Or, perhaps I could turn to Rilke, and think that I have been gathering sweetness that I may not have otherwise gathered if I had been focused on producing poems. I should go back and read an excerpt included in Stephen Mitchell's volume of Rilke called <em>Ahead of All Parting: The Selected Poetry and Prose of Rainer Maria Rilke</em>. Thank you.
