Markings Dag Hammarskjöld—pp 213 Tired And lonely, So tired The heart aches, Meltwater trickles Down the rocks, The fingers are numb, The knees tremble, It is now, Now, that you must not give in. On the path of the others Are resting places, Places in the sun Where they can meet, But this Is your path, And it is now, Now, that you must not fail. Weep If you can, Weep, But do not complain, The way chose you— And you must be thankful. Another one. . . I DON'T KNOW WHO. . . I don't know Who - or what - put the question. I don't know when it was put. I don't even remember answering. But at some moment I did answer Yes to Someone - or Something - and from that hour I was certain that existence is meaningful and that, therefore, my life, in self-surrender, had a goal.
From that moment I have known what it means "not to look back," and "to take no thought for the morrow."
Dag Hammarskjold Markings 1961 "I think we ought to have as great a regard for religion as we can, so as to keep it out of as many things as possible." ~Sean O'Casey ♥
