"All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are."
Pablo Neruda
"The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things."
Rainer Maria Rilke
Maybe its just one way of reading it, but Rilke seems to be pointing out a progression of greater and greater things that have not defeated one, in order to move on to the next. As I grow older and as I go to my painting each day I can understand well this under-lying meaning. This keeps me on Neruda's path, trying my best to convey what I am by what I see and love and attempt. Enjoy!
Love this post Dean!
