Ik was de afgelopen week in Parijs. Dat was geweldig, ik ben naar de House of Worth-tentoonstelling geweest, heb alsmaar baguettes naar binnen gewerkt en ik heb heerlijk rondgedwaald over begraafplaats Père Lachaise.  Onderweg naar deze begraafplaats kwam ik niet geheel toevallig langs een boekwinkeltje en daar vond ik, dat was wel toevallig, een boek over de vrouwen van Père lachaise. Want Père Lachase is vooral bekend vanwege de beroemde heren die er begraven liggen: we noemen een Jim Morrison, een Frederic Chopin en een Marcel Proust, maar er liggen natuurlijk ook heel veel vrouwen begraven. Damews die in hun tijd bekend waren maar nu misschien niet meer zo. Zoals dichteres Claire Goll. Het is een prachtig boek, Mère Lachaise van Camille Paix, en ik dook in al die dames, zocht schilderijen en foto's uit hun tijd, las hun gedichten. Ik vond het zo leuk dat ik dacht: waarom maak ik niet een serietje De Ontembaren, dames die ondanks de gangbare mores een stempel op de wereld hebben gedrukt in hun tijd, zelfs al weet niet iedereen dat meer. Dus vandaag deel 1 in de serie De Ontembaren: dichter Claire Goll die affaires had met Rainer Maria Rilke, André Malraux en Franz Werfel. Na haar dood laat ze een buitengewoon venijnige autobiografie publiceren waarin iedereen een flinke trap na krijgt maar vooral James Joyce: dat stuk schors zonder sap of warmte, die uitgedroogde peer... Ik las voor deze aflevering Mère Lachaise van Camille PaixEn nu we het toch over vermakelijke boeken hebben om te geven aan geliefden: Koop mijn nieuwe boek

Delphine - von Rainer Maria Rilke

In this long-lost recording made for KQED San Francisco (circa 2006), M. Allen Cunningham reads from his second book Lost Son, a large experimental narrative about Rainer Maria Rilke. At age twenty-one, while living as an obscure, penurious poet in Munich, Rilke met Lou Andreas-Salome. She would quickly become one of the most important people in his life, and would remain one of his most profound influences. This excerpt begins with their meeting, and renders the young Rilke in his most unrestrained Romantic phase. It was an important early stage of his poetic development, but Lou would ultimately guide him into deeper artistic and intellectual waters. Hosted on Acast.

“Görmeyi öğreniyorum. Bilmiyorum neden, her şey içimde daha derinlere işliyor, her zamankinden daha derinlere. Bir iç dünyam varmış da bilmezmişim. Her şey şimdi oraya gidiyor. Orada neler olup bittiğini bilmiyorum” diyor muhteşem kitabı ‘Malte Laurids Brigge'nin Notları'nda Rainer Maria Rilke.

Que faire des sentiments sombres ? Comment trouver le courage de créer, d'exhumer ce qui gît tout au fond du cœur ? Comment traverser les déserts — et comment faire quand la vie semble nous avoir oubliés ? Voici quelques-unes des questions pour lesquelles Rainer Maria Rilke se précipite avec amour à notre rescousse — et dont j'ai voulu vous partager l'essence dans cet épisode. J'espère que ces conseils vous feront autant de bien qu'à moi.

Rabbi Ye'ela Rosenfeld, speaking from Der Nister, looks at how the Shmitah year, the year of letting fields stay fallow, is related to Rilke's advice on how to be courageous in uncertainty. This video is a supplement to Rabbi Rosenfeld's parshah column, which you can find on https://www.dernister.org/newsletter-columns or in our newsletter.#rilke #jewish #philosophy #parshah

Dass sich Mysterien in Worte binden lassen, vermag wohl nurpoetische Sprache. Den drei Texten, die Lyrikpodcast Gastgeber Susanne Garsoffky und Friedemann Magaard vorstellen, gelingt das auf besondere Weise. Die Journalistin Irene Dänzer-Vanotti, in der aktuellen Folge zu Gast, bringt dazu ein Goethe-Gedicht mit: „Wär nicht das Auge sonnenhaft, die Sonne könnt‘ es nie erblicken.“ Dazu klingen „Du, Nachbar Gott“ von Rilke und „Mysterium“ von Rose Ausländer: „Ich höre das Herz des Himmels pochen in meinem Herzen“. Seelenspeise vom Feinsten.

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. —Rainer Maria RilkeFriends,On our unique paths of initiation as women and men, we often encounter the severe mercy—the painful hope—of having our illusion of control shattered by the rebellious parts of our own souls.The infant, longing for nourishment. The toddler, yearning for eye contact and the smile of an attentive parent. The boyish hope and daring of a third-grade cowboy. The angry teenager, thirsting for a strength both within and beyond himself. The older man, carrying an unsung song in his heart.When we finally summon the courage to face the collective of young men within us, what do we do?To whom do we turn?I suggest that the invitation and intention of Jesus Christ is to welcome, see, love, know, sustain, restore, and champion all the uninitiated men within us—bringing them into an effectively organized community, fully held together and integrated by Him.With permission, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at an authentic, real-time mentoring call with a courageous apprentice. He is noticing the parts within and creating a safe space for each one to embark on the journey ever closer to Home.Join me as his story unfolds, opening access to our own stories in ways beyond what we can yet imagine.For the Kingdom,Morgan & Cherie

What happens when we trace the unexpected influences between seemingly unrelated poetic traditions? In this exploration of German poetry's impact on American counterculture, we discover the fascinating connections between renowned German-language poets Rainer Maria Rilke and Paul Salon with Cleveland's underground literary icon DA Levy.Levy, a Cleveland poet and publisher active in the 1960s who faced obscenity trials and ultimately committed suicide, created work that resonates with Rilke's mystical poetics in surprising ways. Both poets use angels not as mere symbols but as modes of address to readers – inviting us into a space where beauty and terror coexist, where mortality is acknowledged as the very thing that gives life its meaning.As we examine Rilke's "Requiem for a Friend" alongside his more famous Duino Elegies, we see how his approach to mythology established patterns that would later emerge in Levy's work, despite their vastly different cultural contexts. The conversation expands to include translation theory, with insights from contemporary translators Pierre Joris and Johannes Göransson who understand translation not as equivalence but as transformation – every act of writing being itself a translation of experience into language.We also examine how Levy's Buddhist influences connect him more meaningfully to Gary Snyder than to the Beat poets with whom he's often categorized, revealing the complexity of his literary lineage. From Federico García Lorca's concept of duende to the rich ethnic diversity of Cleveland's literary scene, this discussion illuminates how poetry transcends borders while remaining deeply rooted in specific geographies and experiences.Have you discovered DA Levy yet? His work, much of it being republished through Between the Highway Press, offers a portal into a uniquely American poetic vision that draws from international traditions while speaking directly to readers with urgent, transformative power.Links mentioned in the video: https://periodicityjournal.blogspot.com/2025/01/alexander-hammond-benedict-from.html?m=1https://rilkepoetry.com/duino-elegies/first-duino-elegy/http://homestar.org/bryannan/duino.htmlhttps://herhalfofhistory.com/2023/07/13/requiem-for-paula-modersohn-becker-by-rainer-maria-rilke/https://abovegroundpress.blogspot.com/2024/10/new-from-aboveground-press-fragments-of.htmlhttps://betweenthehighway.org/Send us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Pronoid is the opposite of paranoid: it is the conviction that everything is conspiring to support you, delight in you, and help you along. This is how divine love works in our lives.SLIDES GEORGE READ Love is not some small minded ideal that we bypass on the way to weightier theological principles. We will spend the rest of our lives learning to love more passionately, intimately, intentionally, and transformationally. There is no higher call.—Jayson D. BradleyBelieve 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

Als Elissa Hiersemann Lael Neale 2021 für ihre radioeins-Sendung "Swagga" interviewte, traf sie auf einen bekennenden "Morgenmenschen", der dem aktuellen Albumtitel "Acquainted With Night" gemäß gerade Bekanntschaft mit der Nacht gemacht beziehungsweise diese musikalisch verarbeitet hatte – und das auf äußerst einnehmende Weise. Auch kamen der Künstlerin Liebe zur Naturprosa von Dichtern wie Rainer Maria Rilke oder Rumi sowie die besondere Bedeutung des Omnichords für die Musik der aus dem ländlichen Virginia stammenden Neale zur Sprache. Jenes in der Pop-Welt eher seltene elektronische Instrument ist auch auf "Altogether Stranger" zu hören, dem vor wenigen Tagen veröffentlichten neuen, vierten Album unseres heutigen studioeins-Gastes. Dieses wurde inspiriert vom Gefühl der Fremdheit, das Lael beschlich, als sie in ihre Wahlheimat Los Angeles zurückkehrte, die sie 2020 zu Beginn der Corona-Pandemie verlassen hatte. In neun unaufgeregten, aber alles andere als belanglosen Songs mit einfallsreichen, klugen Texten erzählt sie aus der Außenseiter-Perspektive eines "Alien" von der Sonderbarkeit des menschlichen Alltagsdaseins. Für die musikalische Umsetzung zwischen Garagen-Pop, "Omnichord-Meditationen" und minimalistischen New Wave-Sounds, bei der pluckernde und zischelnde antiquierte Drum-Machines im Wechsel mit Schellenkränzen den Takt vorgeben, setzt Neale ganz auf eine Lo-Fi-Ästhetik, in die sich das Grundrauschen der Natur immer mal wieder durch alte Gitarrenverstärker hineinzuschleichen scheint und die den idealen Rahmen für ihre zugleich zurückhaltend zarte wie ausdrucksstarke Stimme und wirkungsvollen, gerne verspielten Gesangsmelodien bildet. Am 21. Mai gibt Lael Neale in der Kantine am Berghain ein Konzert, einen kleinen Vorgeschmack bekommen wir bereits heute Abend im studioeins, wo sie einige Songs auf der kleinen Bühne live spielen wird, nachdem sie sich im Interview vorgestellt hat.

In der Lesung auf radio3 können Sie zurzeit die "Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge" hören, dem einzigen Roman von Rainer Maria Rilke. Rilke selbst hat nie von einem Roman gesprochen, denn die Aufzeichnungen sind ein fingiertes Tagebuch. Weil die Zeitebenen hin und her springen, ist es mitunter schwer, den Überblick zu behalten. Daher sprechen wir von Zeit zu Zeit mit der Literaturwissenschaftlerin Sandra Richter, die eine echte Rilke-Expertin ist. Heute geht es um den Titelhelden Malte Laurens Brigge.

“Art is a form of prayer … a way to enter into relationship.”Artist and theologian Bruce Herman reflects on the sacred vocation of making, resisting consumerism, and the divine invitation to become co-creators. From Mark Rothko to Rainer Maria Rilke, to Andres Serrano's “Piss Christ” and T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets, he comments on the holy risk of artmaking and the sacred fire of creative origination.Together with Evan Rosa, Bruce Herman explores the divine vocation of art making as resistance to consumer culture and passive living. In this deeply poetic and wide-ranging conversation—and drawing from his book *Makers by Nature—*he invites us into a vision of art not as individual genius or commodity, but as service, dialogue, and co-creation rooted in love, not fear. They touch on ancient questions of human identity and desire, the creative implications of being made in the image of God, Buber's I and Thou, the scandal of the cross, Eliot's divine fire, Rothko's melancholy ecstasy, and how even making a loaf of bread can be a form of holy protest. A profound reflection on what it means to be human, and how we might change our lives—through beauty, vulnerability, and relational making.Episode Highlights“We are made by a Maker to be makers.”“ I think hope is being stolen from us Surreptitiously moment by moment hour by hour day by day.”“There is no them. There is only us.”“The work itself has a life of its own.”“Art that serves a community.”“You must change your life.” —Rilke, recited by Bruce Herman in reflection on the transformative power of art.“When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy.”“Making art is a form of prayer. It's a form of entering into relationship.”“Art is not for the artist—any more than it's for anyone else. The work stands apart. It has its own voice.”“We're not merely consumers—we're made by a Maker to be makers.”“The ultimate act of art is hospitality.”Topics and ThemesHuman beings are born to create and make meaningArt as theological dialogue and spiritual resistanceCreative practice as a form of love and worshipChristian art and culture in dialogue with contemporary issuesPassive consumption vs. active creationHow to engage with provocative art faithfullyThe role of beauty, mystery, and risk in the creative processArt that changes you spiritually, emotionally, and intellectuallyThe sacred vocation of the artist in a consumerist worldHow poetry and painting open up divine encounter, particularly in Rainer Maria Rilke's “Archaic Torso of Apollo”Four Quartets and spiritual longing in modern poetryHospitality, submission, and service as aesthetic posturesModern culture's sickness and art as medicineEncountering the cross through contemporary artistic imagination“Archaic Torso of Apollo”Rainer Maria Rilke 1875 –1926We cannot know his legendary head with eyes like ripening fruit. And yet his torso is still suffused with brilliance from inside, like a lamp, in which his gaze, now turned to low, gleams in all its power. Otherwise the curved breast could not dazzle you so, nor could a smile run through the placid hips and thighs to that dark center where procreation flared. Otherwise this stone would seem defaced beneath the translucent cascade of the shoulders and would not glisten like a wild beast's fur: would not, from all the borders of itself, burst like a star: for here there is no place that does not see you. You must change your life.About Bruce HermanBruce Herman is a painter, writer, educator, and speaker. His art has been shown in more than 150 exhibitions—nationally in many US cities, including New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Houston—and internationally in England, Japan, Hong Kong, Italy, Canada, and Israel. His artwork is featured in many public and private art collections including the Vatican Museum of Modern Religious Art in Rome; The Cincinnati Museum of Fine Arts print collection; The Grunewald Print Collection of the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; DeCordova Museum in Boston; the Cape Ann Museum; and in many colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada.Herman taught at Gordon College for nearly four decades, and is the founding chair of the Art Department there. He held the Lothlórien Distinguished Chair in Fine Arts for more than fifteen years, and continues to curate exhibitions and manage the College art collection there. Herman completed both BFA and MFA degrees at Boston University College of Fine Arts under American artists Philip Guston, James Weeks, David Aronson, Reed Kay, and Arthur Polonsky. He was named Boston University College of Fine Arts Distinguished Alumnus of the Year 2006.Herman's art may be found in dozens of journals, popular magazines, newspapers, and online art features. He and co-author Walter Hansen wrote the book Through Your Eyes, 2013, Grand Rapids, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, a thirty-year retrospective of Herman's art as seen through the eyes of his most dedicated collector.To learn more, explore A Video Portrait of the Artist and My Process – An Essay by Bruce Herman.Books by Bruce Herman*Makers by Nature: Letters from a Master Painter on Faith, Hope, and Art* (2025) *Ordinary Saints (*2018) *Through Your Eyes: The Art of Bruce Herman (2013) *QU4RTETS with Makoto Fujimura, Bruce Herman, Christopher Theofanidis, Jeremy Begbie (2012) A Broken Beauty (2006)Show NotesBruce Herman on Human Identity as MakersWe are created in the image of God—the ultimate “I Am”—and thus made to create.“We are made by a Maker to be makers.”To deny our creative impulse is to risk a deep form of spiritual unhealth.Making is not just for the “artist”—everyone is born with the capacity to make.Theological Themes and Philosophical FrameworksInfluences include Martin Buber's “I and Thou,” René Girard's scapegoating theory, and the image of God in Genesis.“We don't really exist for ourselves. We exist in the space between us.”The divine invitation is relational, not autonomous.Desire, imitation, and submission form the core of our relational anthropology.Art as Resistance to Consumerism“We begin to enter into illness when we become mere consumers.”Art Versus PropagandaCulture is sickened by passive consumption, entertainment addiction, and aesthetic commodification.Making a loaf of bread, carving wood, or crafting a cocktail are acts of cultural resistance.Desire“Anything is resistance… Anything is a protest against passive consumption.”Art as Dialogue and Submission“Making art is a form of prayer. It's a form of entering into relationship.”Submission—though culturally maligned—is a necessary posture in love and art.Engaging with art requires openness to transformation.“If you want to really receive what a poem is communicating, you have to submit to it.”The Transformative Power of Encountering ArtQuoting Rilke's Archaic Torso of Apollo: “You must change your life.”True art sees the viewer and invites them to become something more.Herman's own transformative moment came unexpectedly in front of a Rothko painting.“The best part of my work is outside of my control.”Scandal, Offense, and the Cross in ArtAnalyzing Andres Serrano's Piss Christ as a sincere meditation on the commercialization of the cross.“Does the crucifixion still carry sacred weight—or has it been reduced to jewelry?”Art should provoke—but out of love, not self-aggrandizement or malice.“The cross is an offense. Paul says so. But it's the power of God for those being saved.”Beauty, Suffering, and Holy RiskEncounter with art can arise from personal or collective suffering.Bruce references Christian Wiman and Walker Percy as artists opened by pain.“Sometimes it takes catastrophe to open us up again.”Great art offers not escape, but transformation through vulnerability.The Fire and the Rose: T. S. Eliot's InfluenceFour Quartets shaped Herman's artistic and theological imagination.Eliot's poetry is contemplative, musical, liturgical, and steeped in paradox.“To be redeemed from fire by fire… when the fire and the rose are one.”The collaborative Quartets project with Makoto Fujimura and Chris Theofanidis honors Eliot's poetic vision.Living and Creating from Love, Not Fear“Make from love, not fear.”Fear-driven art (or politics) leads to manipulation and despair.Acts of love include cooking, serving, sharing, and creating for others.“The ultimate act of art is hospitality.”Media & Intellectual ReferencesMakers by Nature by Bruce HermanFour Quartets by T.

What do you do when faced with a big, important question that keeps you up at night? Many people seek quick answers dispensed by “experts,” influencers, and gurus. But these one-size-fits-all solutions often fail to satisfy, and can even cause more pain.  In How to Fall in Love With Questions, Elizabeth Weingarten finds inspiration in a few famous lines from Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet, and then takes this insight – to love the questions themselves – to modern science to offer a fresh approach for dealing with the uncertainty in our lives. What if our questions—the ones we ask about relationships, work, meaning, identity, and purpose—are not our tormentors, but our teachers? Weingarten offers a fresh approach for dealing with seemingly unsolvable questions, not as a quick fix but to deepen our sense of being fully alive. Weingarten shares her own journey and the stories of others, including a part of my own story after the events of 9/11 in New York City when I first turned to Rilke's letters, to chart a different, and better, relationship with uncertainty. Designed to inspire anyone who feels stuck, powerless, and drained, How to Fall in Love with Questions challenges us to unlock our minds and embark on the kind of self-discovery that's only possible when we feel most alive—that is, when we don't know what will happen next.

But these one-size-fits-all solutions often fail to satisfy, and can even cause more pain.  In How to Fall in Love With Questions, Elizabeth Weingarten finds inspiration in a few famous lines from Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet, and then takes this insight – to love the questions themselves – to modern science to offer a fresh approach for dealing with the uncertainty in our lives. What if our questions—the ones we ask about relationships, work, meaning, identity, and purpose—are not our tormentors, but our teachers? Weingarten offers a fresh approach for dealing with seemingly unsolvable questions, not as a quick fix but to deepen our sense of being fully alive. Weingarten shares her own journey and the stories of others, including a part of my own story after the events of 9/11 in New York City when I first turned to Rilke's letters, to chart a different, and better, relationship with uncertainty. Designed to inspire anyone who feels stuck, powerless, and drained, How to Fall in Love with Questions challenges us to unlock our minds and embark on the kind of self-discovery that's only possible when we feel most alive—that is, when we don't know what will happen next.

Franz Wright was born in Vienna, Austria and grew up in the Northwest, the Midwest, and California. He earned a BA from Oberlin College in 1977. His collections of poetry include The Beforelife (2001); God's Silence (2006); Walking to Martha's Vineyard, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 2004; Wheeling Motel (2009); Kindertotenwald (2011); and F (2013). In his precisely crafted, lyrical poems, Wright addresses the subjects of isolation, illness, spirituality, and gratitude. Of his work, he has commented, “I think ideally, I would like, in a poem, to operate by way of suggestion.”Critic Helen Vendler wrote in the New York Review of Books, “Wright's scale of experience, like Berryman's, runs from the homicidal to the ecstatic ... His best forms of or originality: deftness in patterning, startling metaphors, starkness of speech, compression of both pain and joy, and a stoic self-possession with the agonies and penalties of existence.” Langdon Hammer, in the New York Times Book Review, wrote of God's Silence: “In his best poems, Wright grasps at the ‘radiantly obvious thing' in short-lined short lyrics that turn and twist down the page. The urgency and calculated unsteadiness of the utterances, with their abrupt shifts of direction, jump-cuts and quips, mime the wounded openness of a speaker struggling to find faith.”Wright received a Whiting Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. He translated poetry by Rainer Maria Rilke and Rene Char; in 2008 he and his wife, Elizabeth Oehlkers Wright, co-translated a collection by the Belarusian poet Valzhyna Mort, Factory of Tears. He taught at Emerson College and other universities, worked in mental health clinics, and volunteered at a center for grieving children. His father was the Pulitzer Prize–winning poet James Wright. He died in 2015. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Hello to you listening in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I paused my computer screen saver as it pulled up a photo from my Camino pilgrimage: a lake in a town on a sunny day - and swans. Graceful, regal, fully in their watery element, no longer bound to the land. While swans can lumber across the ground swaying dangerously side to side, their element is water. That's where they belong.  Following is a version of Rainer Maria Rilke's poem - The Swan - translated by Robert Bly:“This clumsy living that moves lumberingas if in ropes through what is not done,reminds us of the awkward way the swan walks.And to die, which is the letting goof the ground we stand on and cling to every day,is like the swan, when he nervously lets himself down into the water, which receives him gailyand which flows joyfully underand after him, wave after wave,while the swan, unmoving and marvelously calm,is pleased to be carried, each moment more fully grown, more like a king, further and further on.”Maybe like me you've been asking yourself: What is my element? Where do I belong? How will I find it? Could it be looking for me?Question: What is your element? How do you know?You're always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe, share a 5-star rating + nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!Meanwhile, stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website to:✓ Check out What I Offer,✓ Arrange your free Story Communication Session,✓ Stay current with Diane on Substack as Wyzga on WordsStories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Mer's Waltz from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicAll content and image © 2019 to Present Quarter Moon Story Arts.

Der österreichische Lyriker Rainer Maria Rilke wird bis heute verehrt, nicht nur in Popsongs. Junge Menschen rezitieren heute auf den sozialen Medien seine Gedichte. – Der Emmentaler Jodok Vuille hat als Violinist das Netz erobert und geht jetzt auf Welttournee. Rilke ist in – auch 150 Jahre, nachdem er geboren wurde. Seine Gedichte wie «Der Panther» oder «Herbsttag» tauchen in Popsongs auf. Junge Menschen schwärmen auf TikTok und Instagram von Rilkes Texten und rezitieren seine Gedichte. Und Musik-Ikonen wie Lady Gaga lassen sich Rilke-Zitate tätowieren. Warum begeistert diese über hundert Jahre alte, oft melancholische Sprache eine junge Generation bis heute? Und was macht Rainer Maria Rilke für Instagram und TikTok tauglich? Eine Buch-Influencerin, ein Popsänger und ein Literaturwissenschaftler erzählen von der Faszination für Rilke. Der Emmentaler Jodok Vuille spielt Pop-Covers auf dem Cello. Seine Bühne: Instagram, TikTok und Co. Bekannt geworden ist er mit Musik-Videos vor spektakulärer Schweizer Bergkulisse. Mittlerweile hat er mehr als elf Millionen Follower auf den sozialen Medien. Er hat mit internationalen Musik-Grössen wie Lindsey Stirling und Teddy Swims gearbeitet, zieht Werbeverträge an Land und trat vor der katarischen Königsfamilie auf. Seinen Job als Musik- und Sportlehrer hängt er nun an den Nagel, um sich ganz auf «Jodokcello» zu konzentrieren und auf eine Welttournee zu gehen.

“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation” (Henry Thoreau).  In this classic episode, Andrew interviews therapist SIMON ROE. Simon has based his life's work on helping men live an authentic life. After himself going through a period of quiet desperation in his mid-thirties, he went on to help men break the silence, find “the song inside” and overcome their experiences of depression, violence and loneliness.  Simon has also worked extensively with boys and their fathers to create rites of passage that help boys claim a strong, authentic sense of their developing manhood. Simon Roe originally trained as a body psychotherapist, and is also a co-leader of the Mandorla Men's Rites of Passage programme. He has worked extensively with perpetrators of domestic violence, and is a Respect approved trainer and supervisor. Simon is also trained in process oriented psychology.  Simon and Andrew also discuss the idea of answering “the call to adventure”, an idea powerfully captured in this poem by Rainer Maria Rilke: Sometimes A Man Stands Up During Supper Sometimes a man stands up during supper and walks outdoors, and keeps on walking, because of a church that stands somewhere in the East.   And his children say blessings on him as if he were dead.   And another man, who remains inside his own house, dies there, inside the dishes and in the glasses, so that his children have to go far out into the world toward that same church , which he forgot.

Rainer Maria Rilke said, “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves... like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now.” A sermon about change, growth, and trusting the process. Music: Lydia Clark & Susan Peck

Rainer Maria Rilkes epochemachende Literatur hallt bis heute nach. Gedichte wie "Der Panther", "Blaue Hortensie", "Herbst" oder "Duineser Elegien" zählen zum Literatur-Kanon, genauso sein Roman "Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge". Seine Texte zu Kunst, Philosophie oder Literatur sind berühmt, seine Briefe ebenso. Wer aber war der Mensch Rainer Maria Rilke? Das wollte Sandra Richter herausfinden.

Host, Lisa Colon DeLay and Mark S. Burrows discuss his new books and translation projects of poet Rainer Maria Rilke in a fascinating conversation.

Wes & Erin continue their discussion of Rainer Maria Rilke's “You Who Never Arrived" and “Be Ahead of All Parting” (II.13 from his “Sonnets to Orpheus”), and whether—as Rilke suggests—death can be put in service of life, and suffering sourced as the principal wellspring of a joyful existence.

Rainer Maria Rilke, seine epochemachende Literatur hallt bis heute nach. Gedichte wie "Der Panther", "Blaue Hortensie", "Herbst" oder "Duineser Elegien" zählen zum Literatur-Kanon, genauso sein Roman "Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge". Seine Schriften zu Kunst, Philosophie oder Literatur sind berühmt, seine Briefe ebenso. Wer aber war Rainer Maria Rilke? Sandra Richter, Direktorin des Deutschen Literaturarchivs Marbach, sitzt sozusagen an der Quelle, sie kann zu den exotischen Zeiten, außerhalb der Öffnungszeiten, dort lesen, forschen, arbeiten, denn sie hat "den Schlüssel". Und Marbach kann sich über eine Besonderheit freuen: Erst vor kurzem, 2022, hat das Deutsche Literaturarchiv seinen Rilke-Bestand erweitert und das große Rilke-Archiv erworben. Aus diesem Material hat die Literaturwissenschaftlerin nun ein Buch gemacht: "Rainer Maria Rilke oder Das offene Leben". Darin zeichnet sie ein neues, unerwartetes Rilke-Bild. Wie das aussieht, wie Sandra Richter "ihren" Rainer Maria Rilke neu zu deuten weiß, darüber spricht sie in "NDR Kultur à la carte" mit Martina Kothe.

In his poem “You Who Never Arrived,” Rainer Maria Rilke suggests that we can mourn love as an unrealized possibility, and see this loss signified everywhere in the ordinary objects of the external world. In “Be Ahead of All Parting” (II.13 from his “Sonnets to Orpheus”), he seems to claim that poetry has the capacity to redeem such losses—and retrieve them, so to speak, from their underworld. Wes & Erin discuss these two classics, and whether—as Rilke suggests—death can be put in service of life, and suffering sourced as the principal wellspring of a joyful existence.

Paule Amblard est historienne de l'Art et aussi de la Spiritualité du Moyen-Âge. Elle a écrit de nombreux ouvrages comme Le pèlerinage intérieur, ou Les enfants de Notre Dame. Il y a près de deux ans, Paule Amblard avait déjà emmené beaucoup d'auditeurs de Zeteo avec elle, au cours d'un épisode captivant consacré au pèlerinage de l'âme après la mort. C'était à l'occasion de la parution de son livre La chambre de l'âme, qui s'appuyait sur un manuscrit médiéval et qui comportait aussi une dimension autobiographique. Avec elle, nous retournons au cœur du Moyen-Âge : Paule Amblard nous raconte les grands traits de l'histoire de Notre Dame de Paris, depuis sa fondation jusqu'à nos jours, un récit qu'elle développe dans le nouveau livre qu'elle vient de publier : Notre Dame de Paris, les symboles des pierres. En fait, c'est à un nouveau pèlerinage que Paule Amblard nous invite : un cheminement qui va du visible vers l'invisible, de l'extériorité vers l'intériorité, du parvis de la cathédrale jusqu'au saint des saints du chœur. Un chemin qui nous révèle à quel point tout est intrinsèquement lié et inséparable. Le partage de Paule Amblard est enthousiasmant, parce que sa passion est rayonnante. À notre tour, nous sommes invités à un cheminement bouleversant, à l'évocation des symboles, des fresques, des scènes innombrables que nous offre l'Art sacré de Notre Dame de Paris. Nous revivons les grands moments de l'histoire du salut que ce monument hors du commun nous rappelle. Nous comprenons comment le mal peut être combattu, la peur surmontée et même accueillie, comme le dit si bien Rainer Maria Rilke que cite Paule Amblard : « Tous les dragons de notre vie sont peut-être des princesses qui attendent de nous voir beaux et courageux. Toutes les choses terrifiantes ne sont peut-être que des choses sans secours qui attendent que nous les secourions » Nous avions tous été profondément atteints par l'incendie de Notre Dame de Paris et par la menace de son entière destruction. Nous avions alors mesuré l'importance de cette cathédrale dans le monde entier. Aujourd'hui, magnifiquement rénovée, elle offre à l'humanité un symbole très fort de résurrection, qui survient en des temps agités où nous en avons tant besoin. Pour lire Notre Dame de Paris, les symbole des pierres, le livre de Paule Amblard, cliquer ici. TERRASSER NOS DRAGONS  Chers amis, chers auditeurs de Zeteo, Il semble qu'il y a des temps où les peurs se propagent davantage que d'autres. Des temps où le mal semble plus à l'œuvre, comme s'il était libéré de tous freins, et qu'il menaçait de couvrir la terre du feu de sa colère, de ses guerres et de ses désolations. Pour certains, l'époque que nous vivons en ce moment est inquiétante. Il y aurait même des relents qui font penser aux années Trente. Pour d'autres, le cœur de l'hiver où nous sommes est toujours un moment difficile à passer, peut-être à cause du froid, de l'absence de lumière, des ciels ternes et bas où l'azur et le lointain sont trop longtemps absents. L'épisode que nous diffusons dès aujourd'hui, avec Paule Amblard et au sujet de Notre Dame de Paris, est un formidable remède ! Il offre un cheminement bouleversant, celui que nous propose l'art sacré d'une cathédrale ressuscitée. De nombreuses fresques, statues, scènes inscrites dans les symboles des pierres de Notre Dame de Paris nous apprennent à surmonter toutes nos peurs. Elles nous conduisent aussi à une bouleversante conversion, celle qui consiste à accueillir nos peurs, à consoler l'enfant apeuré en nous, à ouvrir nos cœurs en toute confiance à la bienveillance divine. Ce dragon que terrassent Saint Michel ou Saint Georges, c'est celui du mal qui étreint le monde autant que nos cœurs. C'est le merveilleux enseignement de ce nouvel épisode de Zeteo. Les difficultés ne disparaîtront peut-être pas. Mais en terrassant nos dragons, grâce à l'aide de nos amis célestes, nous ne leur permettons pas de nous anéantir, et nous desserrons déjà leurs étreintes angoissantes et paralysantes. Comme nous l'écrivions la semaine passée, cette période de l'année est également la plus difficile pour Zeteo. Celle au cours de laquelle la récolte de dons est la plus faible. Nous tenons ici à remercier chaleureusement ceux qui ont répondu à l'appel de dimanche dernier. Et nous faisons appel à ceux qui peuvent à leur tour se joindre à cet effort particulier du moment. Ici, Zeteo a besoin de vous, auditeurs, pour terrasser son dragon ! Nous sommes confiants et accueillons tout ce qui vient et viendra de la bienveillance infinie du Ciel, Fraternellement, Guillaume Devoud  Pour faire un don, il suffit de cliquer ici pour aller sur notre compte de paiement de dons en ligne sécurisé par HelloAsso.

Flourishing is not a fixed state; it is an unfolding. In this time of rupture we need encounters with flourishing, to know it in our lived experiences individually and collectively.

Ralph welcomes back Hassan El-Tayyab, the Legislative Director for Middle East policy at the Friends Committee on National Legislation to talk about the FCNL's recent lobbying efforts in support of a ceasefire in Gaza, as well as the recently-introduced bill to restore funding to UNRWA. Then, Ralph is joined by journalist Rachel Corbett to discuss her recent article for the NY Times Magazine "The For-Profit City That Might Come Crashing Down" about Próspera, the private, for-profit city off the coast of Honduras. Finally, our resident international-law expert Bruce Fein stops by to discuss Israel's recent coordinated attacks in Lebanon. Hassan El-Tayyab is Legislative Director for Middle East policy and Advocacy Organizer at the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL). Previously, he was co-director of the national advocacy group Just Foreign Policy, where he worked to reassert Congressional war authority and promote human rights in the Middle East and Latin America. He played a major role in the successful passage of the War Powers Resolution to end US military aid to the Saudi-UAE coalition's war in Yemen. I've been reading a recent statement that the Friends Committee has put out on the Gaza situation. They just can't seem to keep up with the massive expansion of Israeli state terrorism and the death and destruction that's being wrought on hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians, families, children, mothers, fathers, and the civilian infrastructure. [Their] effort on Capitol Hill—which is a longstanding feature of the Friends Committee on Legislation—seems hopelessly overwhelmed by the AIPAC-led Israeli-government-can-do-no-wrong lobby.Ralph NaderWe try to find common ground. As you know, the Quaker way is to believe that there's a spirit and light in everybody—whether we agree with them or not, we want to engage. And that's just a philosophy that we've had for over 80 years as an organization, and much longer than that as Quakers doing peace advocacy work going back hundreds of years. So we try to engage with everybody. Maybe we don't agree on the weapons shipments, but we can agree on sending US Navy hospital ships to the region. Hassan El-TayyabIf we care about peace, we have to throw down for peace. And not just support humanitarian aid, but actually get involved in the political end of this as well. Because we are spiraling. We're spiraling into a dark place if we don't get our act together.Hassan El-TayyabRachel Corbett is a journalist who has written for the New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, the Atlantic, and New York Magazine, among other publications. And she is the author of You Must Change Your Life: The Story of Rainer Maria Rilke and Auguste Rodin which won the 2016 Marfield Prize, the National Award for Arts Writing.On the one hand, you could almost laugh at something like this. There's so many silly anecdotes that come out of it. And on the other hand, it seems incredibly serious, like something that may be happening underneath the surface that has actually been intentionally happening underneath the surface. I think there's a concerted effort to keep things quiet while these cities get built and become almost too big to tear down… Although they're not that advanced, the sheer money behind them and the influence of the people behind them is serious, and this tribunal case alone proves it could have really serious effects on the actual world.Rachel CorbettBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law.  Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.There is no way that Israel was able to limit the distribution of the pages to Hezbollah, so they knew that they were taking a very high risk that civilians would be killed or injured—which is a violation of the Geneva Convention prohibition upon resorting to any military endeavor where the risk of harm to civilians is dramatically disproportionate to the military objective at issue.Bruce FeinEven with the low bar that many people present before the Biden administration, it is unsettling to see White House spokespeople day after day knowingly lying about Israel “complying with all laws.”Ralph Nader Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Sean Illing speaks with poet and historian Jennifer Michael Hecht, whose book The Wonder Paradox asks: If we don't have God or religion, what — if anything — do we lose? They discuss how religion accesses meaning — through things like prayer, ceremony, and ritual — and Jennifer speaks on the ways that poetry can play similar roles in a secular way. They also discuss some of the "tricks" that poets use, share favorite poems, and explore what it would mean to "live the questions" — and even learn to love them — without having the answers.
