La fleur et la pierre

La fleur et la pierre
Flower and stone
Collégiale Saint-Georges de Pithiviers, XIè siècle.
Saint-Georges collegiate church, Pithiviers, 11th century.

Nous n'avons aucune raison de nous méfier de notre monde, car il n'est pas contre nous. A-t-il des terreurs, ce sont nos terreurs. des abîmes, ces abîmes nous appartiennent ; les dangers sont proches, il faut essayer de les aimer. nous devons essayer de les aimer. Et si nous organisons notre vie selon ce principe qui nous conseille de nous en tenir toujours à ce qui est difficile, alors ce qui nous semble encore le plus étranger deviendra ce en quoi nous avons le plus confiance et que nous trouvons le plus fidèle. Comment pourrions-nous oublier ces mythes antiques qui sont à l'origine de tous les peuples ?
Rainer Maria Rilke
We have no reason to mistrust our world, for it is not against us. Has it terrors, they are our terrors; has it abysses, those abysses belong to us; are dangers at hand, we must try to love them. And if only we arrange our life according to that principle which counsels us that we must always hold to the difficult, then that which now still seems to us the most alien will become what we most trust and find most faithful. How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples?
Rainer Maria Rilke

A tranquil corner, and a thought provoking piece of prose. Our world is both terrifying and magnificent in its grandeur.
The pale pink rose looks like 'Blush Noisette'.

A really beautiful image. I love the contrasts here - the light and the shade, the soft delicacy of the flowers and the stonework. The colours of the flowers are lovely and I like the mellow tones of the stonework. Interesting prose, - but no terrors here, just gentle beauty! Well captured Eric

You quote here true, profound and thought-provoking words by Rainer Maria Rilke, which are all the more deeply touching as they allow an immediate reference to this wonderful photo!
Have a great week and stay well, Eric!

The light and shade are beautiful in this delightful picture dear Eric. The flowers sit beautifully with the mellow stone building. As Carol says, just gentle beauty.
