I beg you...


I beg you...to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and 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 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


This is such a perfect little quote from the great rainer marie rilke. I happened to stumble across this quote here and can't stop reading it over and over again. Be patient with everything. Love the questions in your heart. Don't search for the answer. Live. Then the questions will be answered.


I keep waiting for someone to tell me what to do. I'm used to that. So I'll be patient. For once I won't jump to any conclusions.
