‘Have patience with everything that remains unresolved in your heart. 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
{You may have seen this quote before here, but it’s been bread and water for me the past several years, and especially this past month.}
