This poem is featured in Joanna Macy’s On Being conversation with Krista, “A Wild Love for the World.” Listen here: https://onbeing.org/programs/joanna-macy-a-wild-love-for-the-world/

You can also listen to Krista’s conversation with Joanna and her co-translator, Anita Barrows, about Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet: “‘What a world you’ve got inside you,’” here: https://onbeing.org/programs/joanna-macy-and-anita-barrows-what-a-world-youve-got-inside-you/

Joanna Macy is a philosopher of ecology and Buddhist teacher, and the root teacher of The Work That Reconnects. She’s the author of many books. Our 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 her published in 2020. She has beautifully translated four books of Rilke's writing — Book of Hours: Love Poems to God; In Praise of Mortality; A Year with Rilke; and Letters to a Young Poet — together with psychologist and poet Anita Barrows. She was a voice in the On Being episode, “The Soul in Depression.” Her most recent poetry collection is Testimony.

An adventure in the mystery and the art of living
A home for shaping your presence in a tender, tumultuous world
A companion to the pleasure in thinking deeply with others
A calling to be part of the generative story of our time
