I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to 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. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
―Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
What a beautiful quote! I never thought of living the question. I’ve got so many questions right now. And no answers. Who would have thought that the question might be all that matters right now…
So glad that Rilke spoke to you! He’s one of my favorite poets. Thank you.
Yes, very much so. You actually inspired a post of mine just now. 🙂 I’m really grateful for this little universe called blogosphere. So many treasures to be found there.
I am honored! It can be a really wonderful place.
