Sonnets To Orpheus I, 3 by R. M. Rilke translated by H. Landman A god can do it. How do you expect a man to squeeze on through the lyre and follow? His mind is torn. Where heartways intersect, you won't find any temple to Apollo. True singing, as you teach it, isn't wanting, not wooing anything that can be won; no, Singing's Being. For the god, not daunting. But when are we? And when will he then turn into our being all the Earth and Stars? It isn't that you love, child, even if the …

Fact: Cats don’t socialize the way dogs do. Which means cat people don’t have social outlets like obedience classes and off-leash parks where they can share stories about their furry children, find out who the best vet and/or pet-sitter in the area is, and lots of other useful things. This Meetup group is looking to change that. If you are an aficionado of the feline, rather than the canine, version of a family pet – and especially if you are owned by more than one cat – this is the place to get …
