People have already had to rethink so many concepts of motion; and they will also gradually come to realize that what we call fate does not come into us from the outside, but emerges from us. It is only because so many people have not absorbed and transformed their fates while they were living in them that they have not realized what was emerging from them; it was so alien to them that, in their confusion and fear, they though it must have entered them at the very moment they became aware of it, for they swore they had never before found anything like that inside them. ------Rainer Maria Rilke excerpt from "Letters to a Young Poet"
