perspective...
I would like to beg you to have patience
With everything unresolved in your heart
And try to love the questions themselves...
Don't search for 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 quesitons now
Perhaps then, someday in the future,
You will gradually, without even noticing it,
Live your way to the answer.
Rainer Marie Rilke, Letter to a young poet
2 Comments:
I *love* Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet. Every time I read them, no matter where I am in life, I find something that speaks to me.
this was my first exposure...it was enough to hook me...i'm still within the first few lines...
