Viele Weihnachtsgedichte und -darstellungen porträtieren Maria als erhabene Gottesmutter, mit Heiligenschein, sanftem, wissenden Blick und übermenschlich. Rainer Maria Rilke, dessen 150. Geburtstag wir in diesem Jahr feiern, hat es ganz anders gemacht. In seinem Gedicht „Christi Geburt“ fragt er, wie es Maria wohl ganz persönlich mit dieser außergewöhnlichen Erfahrung ging, Mutter des Gottessohns zu werden. Das Ergebnis ist ein überraschend menschliches Bild von Maria, das verrät, wie aufmerksam Rilke in die weibliche Seele blickte.

"- Y he aqui porqué es indispensable y urgente que Dios sepa cómo está en realidad hecho el hombre. Alegrémonos de que, al menos, haya alguien que lo diga.Pero mi señora vecina no se alegraba aún:- ¿Y quién será?, dígalo usted.-Muy simplemente: se lo dirán los niños, y de tiempo en tiempo, también los hombres que pintan, que escriben poesías, que edifican..." R. M. Rilke . Historias del Buen Dios.

It's a banner day here on the pod, Slushies. We welcome a very special guest, American Poetry Review's Elizabeth Scanlon to the table as we discuss three prose poems from Sara Burant. Dagne sends out birthday wishes to Canada's own Margaret Atwood while Lisa shows the team her Margaret Atwood-as-saint candle. We note the recent poetry trend towards raising the profile of female visual artists whose work has been overlooked during their lifetimes. Artists like Sonia Delaunay, mentioned in Burant's poem “Fields,” and Hilma af Kilmt, whose art inspired Didi Jackson's recent book “My Infinity.”  The mention of a clay pipe in one poem sends Marion running for a treasure her husband found while mudlarking. Kathy cops to her blue-collar resistance to a precious ars poetica and we discuss what it takes to win her over in the end. Elizabeth relates how John Ashbery likens waiting for a poem to a cat's finicky arrival. We note Frank O'Hara's notion of “deep gossip,” name checking his own friends along with celebrities in his poems, a gesture Burant employs in her poem “Heat wave.” And we come full circle with a shout out to American Poetry Review's own podcast where Elizabeth interviewed Margaret Atwood during the pandemic. As always, thanks for listening! At the table: Dagne Forrest, Samantha Neugebauer, Elizabeth Scanlon, Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Lisa Zerkle, and Lillie Volpe (sound engineer) Bio: Sara Burant's poems, reviews, and collaborative translations of Paul Éluard's poems have appeared in journals such as OmniVerse, Pedestal, periodicities, Ruminate, and The Denver Quarterly. Her work has been honored with a fellowship from Oregon Literary Arts and a residency at Playa. At 55, she received an MFA in Poetry from Saint Mary's College of California. She's the author of a chapbook, Verge. Fields after Frank O'Hara And the truck driver I was made in the image of has a tattoo reminiscent of a Sonia Delaunay on her chest. And on her upper left arm, a nude torso of Apollo reminiscent not only of Rilke but of the male figure who loved her passionately in a dream—my god, he knew how to kiss and be kissed and knew her better than she'll ever know herself. Nobody sees these tattoos except her, looking in the mirror in a cheap motel's bathroom. At home she has no mirrors, just the phone she occasionally snaps a selfie with to make sure she has no spinach or gristle lodged between her teeth before heading to the bar. Actually, the truck driver I was made in the image of is undercover. She's really a Jungian analyst. Those cows in another dream, her heaviest self, chewing the cud of the past, farting, trampling the delicate vegetation, forming a tight circle around the calves when threatened, bellowing when all else fails. Hauling 30 tons in her 35-ton rig, she speeds past field after field which are all the same field. Oh field of dreams, why hasn't she built you? Instead she deletes photos to make room for more photos, wondering why this sunset, that face, this puddle's reflection, that abstract painting. She fished and caught and couldn't filet the tender meat that smelled too much like drowning. One rainy winter in Paris she nearly did drown. Creeping water-logged from museum to museum, finally she clung to Cézanne's misshapen fruit as if to a buoy. The apples and pears, just one man's apprehension of apples and pears, not thoughts inside thought-balloons, not some parable of ancient September. Just tilting tabletops, shapes, colors, the suggestion of shadows and light. Ars poetica For the chickens I save tidbits, potato skins, and the outer cabbage leaves which make me think of hats. The red wobble of the hens' combs and the smell of their fecal heat, unaccountably dear to me. Awaiting a match to warm me, I chew on a clay pipe's stem, contemplating the waning moon of its bowl and my pink lipstick past. The silence behind words spoken or thought clucks softly in my inner ear. Sitting inside, I can't help looking out, a lifting, carrying blue, the wind's little pull on the earlobe of my heart. Lately I've been cutting paper into shapes that mean Feed me or Take me to your leader, wishing I'd been taught to name feelings as they arise. Tenderness for the apple still hanging from winter's limb. Loneliness drunk down with morning's darjeeling. There are conspirators for beauty. Like rabbits, they leave tracks in the snow. Like geese, they arrow through hallways of night. Without sentiment or self-pity they gaze at certain slants of light. They chip away the ice with a pick to get at the lock. Then they pick the lock. And oh, what a view. I want to walk in the dark to get there, not following anyone's directions. To enter the fortune teller's crystal ball with bread in my pocket and a botanist's loupe. Though I don't know your name, I move forward only beside you, your imaginary hand in mine.  Heat wave The woman at the table next to mine gives up loud-talking in favor of song, but it's not looking for love, it's looking for FUN—& feeling groovy. Maybe I should warn her—today's theme isn't love or fun, it's submarine & skedaddle, it's danger-danger, hold your breath & sound. This avalanche of heat, these record-shattering days. See the breakage piling up on sidewalks so hot the barefoot babies weep as they learn to toddle. Maybe, as you like to point out, I'm catastrophizing, when what I really want is to feel groovy again. To butter my skin with baby oil & sizzle, walking barefoot along the burning sand, Bradford Beach where I fell in love unrequited for the umpteenth time. Back then, who was counting? Back then summer lasted for years & still wasn't long enough. 1978, despite Mother's reservations, I saved my babysitting money for a ticket to Fleetwood Mac at County Stadium. Eilleen, Maggie, Liz, Jean, Mary, me—& Stevie Nicks & Christine McVie, the elm trees & long summer dusk of those women's voices. A dusk so filled with the orange, violet & chartreuse silk of its immense flag flying above, beside & through you, you neglect to notice shadows splotching the periphery & forget your curfew. I didn't notice much, so stoned I was, we were, melting into the moment's spotlessness, our adolescent hips grooving, our tan arms waving, here, now, this, this, this—I mean there, then, that, that, that—no one yet suspended for drinking, no one yet strung out, dropping out, running off with boys to Oregon or Wyoming, limping home pregnant or in rags. The elms, gone. Mom, Vince, Rob & Christine McVie, too. I've had to swear off many things due to poor digestion—but oblivion, I'd still like to indulge in that sometimes, diving into it like a bee into a flower, a morning glory, its dumb, purple, one day only show. 

Earlier this year, the remarkable eco-philosopher Joanna Macy passed away at age ninety-six. Among her many gifts, she was a seminal translator of the great twentieth-century poet Rainer Maria Rilke. In our final episode of the year, we return to a selection of translations of Rilke from The Book of Hours: Love Poems to God, by Joanna and award-winning poet Anita Barrows, that speak to the beauty and mystery present in worlds both seen and unseen, the unknowability of the Divine, and the union of nature and the transcendent. We share them this holiday period in the hope they nourish heart and spirit, inviting reflection on all that is given and all that fades away. Cover artwork by Claire Collette.

“The Unbearable Weight of Massive Bob” is a Dharma talk offered at Two Hands Sangha on the Eight Worldly Winds; those shifting conditions of gain/loss, praise/blame, pleasure/pain, status/disgrace that blow through every human life. Using pendulums, turbulence, Miley Cyrus, Rilke, and some honest reflection, we explore how to rise in altitude, soften instead of shatter, and meet change with humor, flexibility, and equanimity. If you're feeling blown around by life, this one might help you breathe again. Enjoy!https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

Hoy se cumplen 150 anos del nacimiento de Rainer Maria Rilke, el mayor poeta del siglo pasado. Cuando un joven cadete que queria dedicarse a los versos acudio a el en busca de consejo, Rilke le respondio con sus Cartas a un joven poeta. El primer consejo le decia que no buscara consejo: es decir, que no buscara las respuestas fuera de si, sino en su interior. El segundo lo conminaba a aferrarse a las cosas que lo rodeaban, no importa lo pequenas que fueran. El propio Rilke era un hombre pequeno, con aire de nino, que decia que la unica patria es la infancia, aunque la suya no habia sido especialmente feliz. Lo vistieron de nina, para compensar la perdida de su hermana fallecida, y luego lo enviaron a una academia militar cuya dureza lo expulso al mundo grande. Permanentemente desarraigado, busco un suelo en que asentarse en mas de cincuenta ciudades, varias de ellas andaluzas. Se cruzo en una taberna en Cordoba con una perrita fea y exhausta, en avanzada prenez, y en sus ojos agrandados vio una verdad que trascendia lo individual. A partir de entonces entendio que en lo pequeno estaba la clave de nuestra vida. Ahora que hablamos tanto de corrupcion hay que recordar que la felicidad esta en las pequenas cosas, como dijo Groucho: un pequeno yate, una pequena mansion, una pequena fortuna.

In Marbach geht es um den „ganzen“ Rilke: um seine Rolle als Sohn, als Ehemann, Freund und Liebhaber, um den Autor und Übersetzer. Die Ausstellung besticht durch viele Texte, Manuskripte und Briefe aus dem Erwerb des privaten Rilke-Archivs Gernsbach. Rilke war der keineswegs ein einsamer, weltfremder Dichter, sondern suchte die Gesellschaft von Künstlern und Verlegern war im Literaturbetrieb bestens vernetzt. Zwar war er immer knapp bei Kasse, dafür bekam er aber reichlich Fan-Post aus der ganzen Welt.

Er wird wie ein Popstar in den sozialen Medien gehandelt, seine Lyrik ist hitverdächtig: der Dichter Rainer Maria Rilke ist selbst 150 Jahre nach seiner Geburt Kult. Junge Influencer deuten seine Lyrik, Lady Gagas Oberarm ziert ein eintätowierter Rilke-Vers. Auch auf Kalendern und Todesanzeigen ist der Wortkünstler präsent, der sein Leben bedingungslos der Dichtkunst verschrieben hat. Rilke ist ein Phänomen bis heute. Was macht seine Beliebtheit aus? Worin liegt das Geheimnis seiner Lyrik, was zeichnet den Menschen Rilke aus?

Hypersensibel und hochbegabt: Rainer Maria Rilke ist ein Phänomen. Der 1875 in Prag geborene Dichter wird auch knapp hundert Jahre nach seinem Tod verehrt wie kaum ein anderer Autor deutscher Sprache. Lady Gaga trägt sie als Tattoo, auf Instagram und Tiktok entdecken junge Menschen seine Poesie neu. Rilke war ein Suchender und führte ein ruheloses Leben, getrieben von Angst und der Suche nach Schönheit, geprägt von intensiven Beziehungen zu starken Frauen, künstlerischen Krisen und von einer Sensibilität, die zugleich Bürde und Quell seines dichterischen Genies war. Seine Texte thematisieren die existenziellen Fragen des Menschseins, kreisen um Gott und preisen Natur und Tierwelt. Was macht Rilke zu einem generationenübergreifenden Phänomen? Was hat es mit der extensiven Liste an Geliebten auf sich, und was hätte Rilke zu Krisen unserer Zeit zu sagen? Olivia Röllin im Gespräch mit der Literaturkritikerin und Autorin Iris Radisch und dem Literaturwissenschaftler und Rilke-Biograf Manfred Koch.

Vorträgliche Glückwünsche zum Geburtstag gelten hierzulande mittlerweile als unüblich, in den 1920er Jahren war man diesbezüglich aber noch nicht so streng. Rainer Maria Rilke feierte seinen 50. erst am 4. Dezember 1925, die Hamburger Nachrichten gratulierten aber bereits am 29. November. Sein Laudator Hans Bethge war selbst Schriftsteller und vor allem für seine Nachdichtungen orientalischer Lyrik bekannt. Gustav Mahlers berühmtes Lied von der Erde geht auf Gedichte Bethges zurück, der, wie bekanntlich auch Rilke, teilweise im Worpsweder Künstlerkreis verkehrte. Dass er ein intimer Kenner von Rilkes Lyrik war, verrät sein Text allemal – obwohl man über die These, Rilke habe niemals ein Liebeslied gedichtet, gewiss trefflich streiten kann. Es liest Rosa Leu.

Den Dichter Rainer Maria Rilke kennen viele. Nun lässt sich der Mensch hinter dem Werk besser kennenlernen. Sandra Richter, Direktorin im Marbacher Literaturarchiv, konnte für ihr Buch unbekannte Quellen auswerten.

Die literarische Welt feiert am 4. Dezember den 150. Geburtstag von Rainer Maria Rilke, einer der bedeutendsten deutschen Lyriker, der 1875 in Prag geboren wurde. Im Alter von 30 Jahren veröffentlichte er sein „Stunden-Buch“, das ihn als Lyriker berühmt machte. Dieser Gedichtband und weitere faszinierten das Publikum, Rilkegedichte wurden in viele Sprachen übersetzt und sie beeinflussten unzählige andere Lyrikerinnen und Lyriker in aller Welt. Die Autoren Jan Wagner und Nobert Hummelt hatten die Idee, deutsche Schreibende dazu einzuladen, sich mit Rilke zu beschäftigen und sich zu lyrischen „Antworten“ auf Rilke inspirieren zu lassen. Die Resonanz war überwältigend. Das faszinierende Ergebnis der unterschiedlichsten Gedichte ist im Band „Tanzt die Orange – 100 Antworten auf Rilke“ im Hanser Verlag erschienen.

In München traf Rilke 1897 Lou Andreas-Salomé, die ihn in Philosophie und Mystik einführte und seine Geliebte wurde. Diese Begegnung prägte seine lebenslange Suche nach dem Göttlichen in uns und den Dingen. Rilkes Poesie verbindet Eros und Spiritualität.

Paola Capriolo"Il superfluo della vita"Carbonio Editorewww.carbonioeditore.itLa nobile Clara e il borghese Heinrich, spiriti inquieti in un mondo che non li comprende, decidono di stare insieme a dispetto di ogni regola, unendosi in un matrimonio segreto contro la volontà del padre di lei. Innamorati e felici, gli sposi vivono nascosti in un'angusta soffitta, nutrendosi di passione e sogni, assorti nella beatitudine di un dolce conversare, rinunciando al superfluo per godersi la vita nella sua poetica essenzialità. Ma l'inverno impietoso e la miseria spingono Heinrich a uno stravagante espediente che è anche un atto estremo e irrevocabile: bruciare la scala che li collega al mondo, scegliendo l'amore come unico rifugio, pur sapendo di condannarsi all'isolamento…Scritta nel 1839 e considerata dallo stesso autore una delle sue opere più riuscite, Il superfluo della vita è una novella delicata e luminosa, piena di arguzia e candore, in cui l'incanto della fiaba avvolge il mistero della vita, sospesa tra presente e passato, tra doveri e diletti, tra sogno e realtà.Ludwig Tieck (Berlino, 1773-1853) è stato un influente scrittore, traduttore, poeta e critico letterario tedesco, figura di spicco del Romanticismo. Nel 1799 diede vita insieme a Novalis, i fratelli Schlegel, Schelling e Fichte al circolo romantico di Jena, un punto di riferimento per la letteratura dell'epoca. Tra le sue opere più significative si annoverano i romanzi Storia del signor William Lovell (1796) e Le peregrinazioni di Franz Sternbald (1798), il racconto fiabesco Il biondo Eckbert (1797), le fiabe teatrali Il gatto con gli stivali (1797) e Il mondo alla rovescia (1798), le novelle Il fidanzamento (1823) e Il superfluo della vita (1839).Paola Capriolo, nata a Milano nel 1962, è autrice di numerosi libri di narrativa, da La grande Eulalia (Feltrinelli 1988) a Irina Nikolaevna o l'arte del romanzo (Bompiani 2023).

Don Paolo Alliata"Nel tempo di Dio"Poesia e meditazione per le Ore del giornoPonte alle Graziewww.ponteallegrazie.itDalla notte dei tempi, poesia e preghiera hanno camminato insieme. Perché la poesia, anche quando non invoca Dio in modo esplicito ma dà voce all'inquietudine della condizione umana, alla confusa bellezza dei sentimenti che ci agita, alle asperità del quotidiano, è ascesi – un esercizio di attenzione al mondo e a ciò che lo trascende. La poesia, quando è davvero poesia, religiosa o meno che sia, ci spinge oltre noi stessi, sull'orlo dell'indicibile, là dove terra e cielo si sfiorano. E, su quel confine vibrante, ricava uno spazio sacro in cui le parole si intrecciano in modo inaspettato, smentiscono le leggi della grammatica, accendono immagini e orizzonti: non servono solo a comunicare, ma ad abitare il Mistero. In questo breviario personale, don Paolo Alliata sceglie le poesie che più parlano al suo cuore e le dispone lungo la giornata secondo le Ore liturgiche per scortarci nella grande avventura di diventare vivi. Dal Notturno – o Mattutino – al Vespro, dalle Lodi alla Compieta, nel meriggiare dell'Ora Media, i versi di Rilke e Pozzi, di Whitman e Turoldo, di Milton e Pessoa ci infondono una grazia potente che ci trasforma tutti – poeti e lettori – in profeti. Perché se la nostra anima, come quella degli angeli, è piena di canto, è solo cantando che possiamo liberare lo Spirito che soffia nel fondo della nostra umanità.Don Paolo Alliata è sacerdote della Diocesi di Milano. Laureato in Lettere classiche, cerca di raccontare, nella predicazione e negli scritti, il grande Mistero cristiano ricorrendo volentieri a immagini e temi tratti dalla letteratura e dal cinema. Per Ponte alle Grazie ha pubblicato: Dove Dio respira di nascosto (2018), C'era come un fuoco ardente (2019), Gesù predicava ai bradipi (2021) e L'amore fa i miracoli (2024).

This is a podcast of a guest sermon, given by invitation to the Unitarian Universalist Community of the Catskills. A guest sermon invited by the Unitarian Universalist Community of the Catskills, Aug 9, 2015. In it, I discuss Rainer Maria Rilke's conception of "solitude" (Einsamkeit), and its relevance to our contemporary lives. Explaining how the two dimensions of slowing down temporally and making space spatially figure into the development of solitude as Rilke describes it, I suggest that in our own era, time has become the more scarce resource.

Bianca Stone is joined with the host of Moral Minority Podcast, Charles Dashings, for the penultimate moment: Rilke’s 9th elegy. The Ninth Elegy.

In this episode of The Appraiser's Advocate, host Tim Andersen, MAI explores the surprising power of uncertainty — not as a weakness, but as one of the highest professional and moral virtues. Drawing on philosophy, science, art, and real estate appraisal practice, this 12-minute reflection reveals how doubt, humility, and intellectual honesty shape better decisions and deeper trust.  Therefore, it is perfectly for an appraiser to tell the client, "The data were not very indicative of value.  Therefore, I did the best I could with what I had."  Is this a fault?  No, it is candid honesty - a demonstration of professional integrity. Listeners will discover why uncertainty fuels curiosity, protects integrity, and builds credibility in every field — from Socrates' “I know that I do not know,” to the appraiser's careful phrase, “based on available evidence.” Tim Andersen, an AQB-certified USPAP instructor, connects these timeless ideas to USPAP ethics.   This connection shows that credibility, not certainty, is the true foundation of public trust in valuation.  Public trust, and giving the public reason to trust appraisal and appraisers, is the cornerstone of real estate appraisal. Through stories, humor, and gentle wisdom, the episode examines how uncertainty becomes the soil of all virtue: humility in knowledge, compassion in ethics, wonder in art, and transparency in professional life. Whether you're an appraiser, educator, or lifelong learner, this episode offers encouragement to “love the questions themselves,” as Rilke advised, and to walk confidently in a world that will never be fully certain. Since uncertainty is an integral part of the science and are of real estate appraisal, keep your E&O insurance up to date, and an Administrative Law Attorney on speed dial.

In this conversation recorded on the 1,000th day since ChatGPT's launch, we explore education, creativity, and transformation with Tess Posner, founding CEO of AI4ALL. For nearly a decade—long before the current AI surge—Tess has led efforts to broaden access to AI education, starting from a 2016 summer camp at Stanford that demonstrated how exposure to hands-on AI projects could inspire high school students, particularly young women, to pursue careers in the field.What began as exposing students to "the magic" of AI possibilities has evolved into something more complex: helping young people navigate a moment of radical uncertainty while developing both technical capabilities and critical thinking about implications. As Tess observes, we're recording at a time when universities are simultaneously banning ChatGPT and embracing it, when the job market for graduates is sobering, and when the entire structure of work is being "reinvented from the ground up."Key themes we explore:Living the Questions: How Tess's team adopted Rilke's concept of "living the questions" as their guiding principle for navigating unprecedented change—recognizing that answers won't come easily and that cultivating wisdom matters more than chasing certaintyThe Diverse Pain Point: Why students from varied backgrounds gravitate toward different AI applications—from predicting droughts for farm worker families to detecting Alzheimer's based on personal experience—and how this diversity of lived experience shapes what problems get attentionProject-Based Learning as Anchor: How hands-on making and building creates the kind of applied learning that both reveals AI's possibilities and exposes its limitations, while fostering the critical thinking skills that pure consumption of AI outputs cannot developThe Educational Reckoning: Why this moment is forcing fundamental questions about the purpose of schooling—moving beyond detection tools and honor codes toward reimagining how learning happens when instant answers are always availableThe Worst Job Market in Decades: Sobering realities facing graduates alongside surprising opportunities—some companies doubling down on "AI native" early career talent while others fundamentally restructure work around managing AI agents rather than doing tasks directlyMusic and the Soul Question: Tess's personal wrestling with AI-generated music that can mimic human emotional expression so convincingly it gets stuck in your head—forcing questions about whether something deeper than output quality matters in artThe conversation reveals someone committed to equity and access while refusing easy optimism about technology's trajectory. Tess acknowledges that "nobody really knows" what the future of work looks like or how education should adapt, yet maintains that the response cannot be paralysis. Instead, AI4ALL's approach emphasizes building community, developing genuine technical skills, and threading ethical considerations through every project—equipping students not with certainty but with agency.About Tess Posner: Tess Posner is founding and interim CEO of AI4ALL, a nonprofit working to increase diversity and inclusion in AI education, research, development, and policy. Since 2017, she has led the organization's expansion from a single summer program at Stanford to a nationwide initiative serving students from over 150 universities. A graduate of St. John's College with its Great Books curriculum, Tess is also an accomplished musician who brings both technical expertise and humanistic perspective to questions about AI's role in creativity and human flourishing.Our Theme Music:Solid State (Reprise)Written & performed by Jonathan CoultonLicense: Perpetual, worldwide licence for podcast theme usage granted to Artificiality Institute by songwriter and publisher

Marilena Garis"Rainer Maria Rilke. Luce sull'invisibile"Edizioni Areswww.edizioniares.itUn'inquietudine profonda ha segnato l'esistenza di Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), poeta dell'anima, la cui vita, contraddistinta da un incessante vagabondare geografico e interiore, si intreccia indissolubilmente alla sua opera. Nato a Praga nel 1875, cresciuto tra l'amore soffocante di una madre che lo vestiva come una bambina e l'austerità delle scuole militari imposte dal padre, Rilke sviluppò fin da giovane uno straordinario e complesso mondo interiore che sarebbe diventato il nucleo pulsante della sua poetica.Dall'incontro con Lou Andreas-Salomé, musa e guida intellettuale, ai viaggi in Russia che segnarono la sua spiritualità, dall'influenza di Auguste Rodin a Parigi fino al rifugio creativo nel castello di Duino e nella torre di Muzot, sulle Alpi svizzere, ogni tappa della sua esistenza fu un passo verso la creazione dei suoi capolavori, come le Elegie duinesi e i Sonetti a Orfeo. La sua poesia, spesso carica di immagini e metafore visionarie, ha innovato il linguaggio lirico del Novecento per aprirsi a un verso libero, che rispecchia il fluire dell'anima.Marilena Garis, in questa appassionata biografia, non racconta solo una vita straordinaria, ma anche un viaggio nei luoghi che plasmarono l'esistenza e l'opera del poeta.Marilena Garis (1976), giurista, cultrice della letteratura e della poesia, scrive per la rivista letteraria Pangea. Studiosa rilkiana, è membro della Association des Amis de la Fondation Rilke di Sierre (Svizzera). Ha curato l'epistolario R.M. Rilke e A. Forrer, La tentazione della rima(Magog 2023) e insieme a Giorgio Anelli il carteggio C. Pozzi e R.M. Rilke, Non dimenticherò che mi avete teso la mano (Ladolfi 2023).

This Lifeworlds episode is a devotional journey into the work of Rainer Maria Rilke, the lyrical German poet of thresholds and embracing transformations.Through readings of his most luminous poems and writings, we explore how Rilke guides us deliciously in reconciling suffering and turmoil with tremendous beauty. It's an offering for anyone standing in the in-between, for those moving through sublimation, and longing for those secret, dazzling encounters with primal life forces. Rilke's words are an invitation in. To move towards. His poems are prayers…. “to go out into our hearts as onto a vast plain, so that life can feel us as it reaches for us.” Hosted on Acast.

Zum 150. Geburtstag hat die Berliner Comic-Künstlerin Melanie Garanin dem Dichter Rainer Maria Rilke eine Graphic Novel gewidmet, die weit über die klassische Biografie hinausgeht.

Theologian Miroslav Volf reflects on solitude, loneliness, and how being alone can reveal our humanity, selfhood, and relationship with God.This episode is part 1 of a 5-part series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.“Solitude brings one back in touch with who one is—it's how we stabilize ourselves so we know how to be ourselves with others.”Macie Bridge welcomes Miroslav for a conversation on solitude and being oneself—probing the difference between loneliness and aloneness, and the essential role of solitude in a flourishing Christian life. Reflecting on Genesis, the Incarnation, and the sensory life of faith, Volf considers how we can both embrace solitude and attend to the loneliness of others.He shares personal reflections on his mother's daily prayer practice and how solitude grounded her in divine presence. Volf describes how solitude restores the self before God and others: “Nobody can be me instead of me.” It is possible, he suggests, that we can we rediscover the presence of God in every relationship—solitary or shared.Helpful Links and ResourcesThe Cost of Ambition: How Striving to Be Better Than Others Makes Us WorseFyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and PunishmentRainer Maria Rilke, Book of Hours (Buch der Stunden)Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Creation and FallEpisode Highlights“Nobody can be me instead of me. And since I must be me, to be me well, I need times with myself.”“It's not good, in almost a metaphysical sense, for us to be alone. We aren't ourselves when we are simply alone.”“Solitude brings one back in touch with who one is—it's how we stabilize ourselves so we know how to be ourselves with others.”“Our relationship to God is mediated by our relationships to others. To honor another is to honor God.”“When we attend to the loneliness of others, in some ways we tend to our own loneliness.”Solitude, Loneliness, and FlourishingThe difference between solitude (constructive aloneness) and loneliness (diminishment of self).COVID-19 as an amplifier of solitude and loneliness.Volf's experience of being alone at Yale—productive solitude without loneliness.Loneliness as “the absence of an affirming glance.”Aloneness as essential for self-reflection and renewal before others.Humanity, Creation, and RelationshipAdam's solitude in Genesis as an incomplete creation—“It is not good for man to be alone.”Human beings as fundamentally social and political.A newborn cannot flourish without touch and gaze—relational presence is constitutive of personhood.Solitude and communion exist in dynamic tension; both must be rightly measured.Jesus's Solitude and Human ResponsibilityJesus withdrawing to pray as a model of sacred solitude.Solitude allows one to “return to oneself,” guarding against being lost in the crowd.The danger of losing selfhood in relationships, “becoming echoes of the crowd.”God, Limits, and OthersEvery other person as a God-given limit—“To honor another is to honor God.”Violating others as transgressing divine boundaries.True spirituality as respecting the space, limit, and presence of the other.Touch, Senses, and the ChurchThe sensory dimension of faith—seeing, touching, being seen.Mary's anointing of Jesus as embodied gospel.Rilke's “ripe seeing”: vision as invitation and affirmation.The church as a site of embodied presence—touch, seeing, listening as acts of communion.The Fear of Violation and the Gift of RespectLoneliness often born from fear of being violated rather than from lack of company.Loving another includes honoring their limit and respecting their freedom.Practical Reflections on LonelinessQuestions Volf asks himself: “Do I dare to be alone? How do I draw strength when I feel lonely?”The paradox of social connection in a digital age—teenagers side by side, “completely disconnected.”Love as sheer presence—“By sheer being, having a loving attitude, I relieve another's loneliness.”The Spiritual Discipline of SolitudeVolf's mother's daily hour of morning prayer—learning to hear God's voice like Samuel.Solitude as the ground for transformation: narrating oneself before God.“Nobody can die in my place… nobody can live my life in my place.”Solitude as preparation for love and life in community.About Miroslav VolfMiroslav Volf is the Henry B.

This Week: We came, we drove in, we at-the'd. That's the poet's way (Rilke agrees) of saying that for this very specialsode we covered At The Drive In's Relationship of Command. My relationship of command at the drive in is that if I (the power player) issue commands into the speaker (the employee) they provide me with Big Macs. Also up for discussion: Not a lot about the album to Chris and ATDI fan's eternal dismay, a TikTok star overuns the MeatMarket, and oh yeah, we talk about Donkey Kong for 90% of the record.

What if the very questions keeping you up at night were the key to moving forward? In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with author Elizabeth Weingarten to challenge the tired advice to “embrace uncertainty” and show how reframing it as an invitation—not a problem—unlocks growth in career, relationships, and life.

This rich, gorgeous conversation will fill your soul. The singular and beloved Joanna Macy died at home at the age of 96 on July 20, 2025. She has left an immense legacy of beauty and wisdom and courage to sustain us. A Buddhist teacher, ecological philosopher, and Rilke translator, she taught and embodied a wild love for the world. What follows is the second and final conversation Krista had with Joanna, together with Joanna's friend, psychologist and fellow Rilke translator Anita Barrows, in 2021. Joanna and Anita had just published a new translation of Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet. At the turn of the last tumultuous century, Rilke was prescient in realizing that the world as he'd known it was passing away. Joanna's adventurous life and vision took shape in the crucibles of the history that then unfolded. Relistening to her now is to experience a way of standing before the great, unfolding dramas of our time — ecological, political, intimate. We stand before the possibilities of what Joanna called “A Great Unraveling” or “A Great Turning” towards life-generating human society. All of this and so much more comes through in the riches of this life-giving conversation. Sign yourself and others up for The Pause to be on our mailing list for all things On Being and to receive Krista's monthly Saturday morning newsletter, including a heads-up on new episodes, special offerings, recommendations, and event invitations.Joanna Macy was the root teacher of The Work That Reconnects. Her books include Active Hope and four volumes of translated works of Rainer Maria Rilke, together with Anita Barrows: Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God;  In Praise of Mortality; and A Year with Rilke. Krista's previous "On Being” episode with her is “A Wild Love for the World.” That's also the title of a lovely book of homage to Joanna that was published in 2020. Anita Barrows's most recent poetry collection is Testimony. She is the Institute Professor of Psychology at the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California, and also maintains a private practice.
