Live the questions

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart

and try to love the questions themselves.  

Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be 

given you because you would not be able 

to live them.  And the point is to live everything.  

Live the questions now.  Perhaps you will then 

gradually, without noticing it, live along some

distant day into the answers.

~Rainer Maria Rilke, Letter to a Young Poet

Clearly, I need to read more Rilke.

Quote of the day

Try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language.  Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them.  And the point is, to live everything.  Live the questions now.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
