Inspiration for Women ( and men) After 50: A Rilke Poem for Monday Motivation

A Poem for Women after 50

Is there a song in you waiting to be sung? At 50, 60, 70+ we are called to fully express who we really are, to unleash our natural gifts and dreams. Rilke’s poem speaks to that so well. I have added italics. I hope it inspires you to soar!

I believe in all that has never yet been spoken.
I want to free what waits within me
so that what no one has dared to wish for

may for once spring clear
without my contriving.

If this is arrogant, God, forgive me,
but this is what I need to say.
May what I do flow from me like a river,
no forcing and no holding back,
the way it is with children.

 Then in these swelling and ebbing currents,
these deepening tides moving out, returning,
I will sing to you as no one ever has,

streaming through widening channels
into the open sea.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~

>>>>STAY TUNED FOR AN EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS… AN OPPORTUNITY TO ‘FREE WHAT WAITS WITHIN’ YOU!!

Joyful blessings to you!
