“There is nothing more joyous than being able to truly make use of oneself again, whether in the service of plans or memories; and what is most beautiful is the moment when plans and memories coincide and produce desired freedom to continue the one in the other.”
-Ranier Maria Rilke (1875–1926)
“There is nothing more joyous than being able to truly make use of oneself again, whether in the service of plans or memories; and what is most beautiful is the moment when plans and memories coincide and produce desired freedom to continue the one in the other.”My good friend Bill Sneck, SJ, kindly and rightly corrected my pronunciation of this giant of a Bohemian-Austrian poet, “It’s RilkA, Tom, not ee.” as I referenced this quote in front of a group. Is this not the most accurate, eloquent description of the goal that we career coaches/counselors aspire to with our clients?
