Rilke is a poet Rachel introduced me to. The following is a piece (for sale) inspired by the poem. It is also the first piece I am offering at larger sizes (24"x36"). Along The Sun-Drenched Roadside Along the sun-drenched roadside, from the great hollow half-treetrunk, which for generations has been a trough, renewing in itself an inch or two of rain, I satisfy my thirst: taking the water's pristine coolness into my whole body through my wrists. Drinking would be too powerful, too clear; but this unhurried gesture of restraint fills my whole consciousness with shining water. Thus, if you came, I could be satisfied to let my hand rest lightly, for a moment, lightly, upon your shoulder or your breast. Rainer Maria Rilke
