Living the Question

Reading at Anara Spa 2/04/2010

…. I  want to beg you, as much as I can, 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 to the answer.  Resolve to be always beginning, to be a beginner.

-Rainer Maria Rilke – Letters to a Young Poet
