More from Rilke

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 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...
