I have been reminded lately of the words from a poet I have begun to love - the words he penned to a fellow writer, the words that my heart has been wrapped around for the past few years. Since my postings have become few and far between, I thought I'd share what I've been reading of late!

***
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
