For Jan. 9, the entry in A Year with Rilke is called Overflow, and the image is of the overflow from a fountain, how fullness flows into us “when things and thoughts cannot contain it.”
For me, the resonance is in the last line. How thoughts tend to take over, sometimes overwhelmingly. So that is what inspires today’s small stone.

Seeking a way
to contain my own thoughts
so I am not overwhelmed
to be instead mindful
less full of worry
to do things differently
to take each small step.
