Have Patience
With everything unresolved
in your heart
and try to love
the questions themselves...
The point is to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps then you will gradually
without even noticing it
Live your way into the answer.
(Author unknown to me)
According to Wikipedia, this is a variation of a quote by Rainer Maria Rilke, Letter 4 in Letters to a Young Poet (1934). Love it! [Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. 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 answer.]
