Anyway, I was reminded about one of my favorite books – Letters to a Young Poet by Ranier Maria Rilke.

The book is a collection of 10 short letters written by Rilke to a former student who was away in college.  The college student felt alone and unsure, and Rilke wrote letters helping to explain life, to encourage, etc.

Anyway, one of my absolute favorite books.  I found a website, where they had the letters written out so I copied them.  They will be posted permanently on this website (or until I don’t need them anymore).
