Letters To A Young Seeker

The inspiration for this wonderful book was inspired by a series of letters written to a young man who found himself faced with the confines of the times in which he lived, challenging what made sense to his own soul... Having come across Rainer Maria Rilke's poetry, he reached out to the author for guidance, and over time, a number of letters ensued.

When I first came across, "Letters To A Young Poet" by Rainer Maria Rilke, I was deeply touched by the compassion, empathy, courage and wisdom of not only the writings, but of the intention. Below is a short description of the published letters. 

"Letters to a Young Poet is a collection of ten letters written by poet Rainer Maria Rilke between 1903 and 1908 to Franz Xaver Kappus, a 19-year-old officer cadet. It offers profound, lyrical advice on nurturing artistic creativity by embracing solitude, patience, and inner introspection rather than seeking external validation." (Jonah Calinawan)

I've carried the beauty of this  in my heart for now thirty years. One morning some months ago, Letters To A Young Seeker appeared in my mind. It felt as if it was something which my husband and I could fashion together, and so I shared the idea with him and we allowed it to organically unfold.

Thus, Letters To A Young Seeker came into Being. 

May it find whomever it is meant to find, at just the right time...

All My Love,
