sharing words

Olive Trees By VanGogh

And if there is one thing more that I must say to you, it is
this: Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you lives
untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes 
do you good. His life has much difficulty and sadness and 
remains far behind yours. Were it otherwise he would never have
been able to find those words.

~Rainer Maria Rilke
Letters to A Young Poet
