The heart-work of images imprisoned

The heart-work of images imprisoned

“The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images imprisoned within you.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

I was listening to Rilke as I ran the curve of the ocean shore. I will never tire of the early morning, the sun in its constancy. For as long as there has been our Earth, she awakens us.

Yet I also consider the heart-work of the images imprisoned inside. The daily sunrise forms fragments of this heart-work. The constancy is light.

How do I work to bring light? The light of an individual, free from filters and diffusers. Able to shine completely.

The light of a community. All the colours of the rainbow. Every single element critical to the whole.

The light of human enterprise. People conspiring together to create something impossible to create alone.

The image I have is one where our relationships together are built on a platform of dignity and respect, infinite love, and care beyond measure. Where the work we do is sacred business. And the Earth we walk on is treated as we would treat the most magnificent palace.

January 12th 2026 Top stories from the community Giving power to the people in enterprise There is a lot of talk about empowerment in business. To bring into the condition of power. Empowering people. Nice, better than nothing…but what if we shifted from empowerment to giving people power? If we removed the majority of hierarchy and operated businesses as a living organism? You know, like nature has done for a few billion years? Trust would have to be a foundational organisational value. Not...

January 11th 2026 The game of life is ours The game of life is ours “When life gets tough, some of us feel that we’ve lost the game and life has won. But life isn’t trying to defeat you. Life isn’t even a participant—the game is yours.” Mo Gawdat For many years, I lived in the story that it was me against the world. I was the cork equivalent in a giant ocean, at the beck and call of forces beyond my control. Life beat me. While we are at the beck and call of forces beyond our control, how we...
