“I beg you…to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are 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.”
(Poet Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet p.35)
As Rilke says, the point is to live everything.
I love this quote too – used it on my Quest Questions site – a question a day for 30 days. A good reminder to be patient!
