LIVE EVERYTHING

I came across this lovely poem, and felt so true, as to how important it is to live the questions, and what a challenge it is to be patient towards all that is unresolved in our hearts. Read on ....

I want to beg you, as much as I can, to be patient toward all that is unresolved 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 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 into the answer.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926)
