Be patient
toward all that is unsolved
in your heart and
try to love the questions themselves
like locked rooms and
like books
that are written in a very foreign tongue.
Do not now 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 find them gradually,
without noticing it, and
live along some distant day
into the answer.
~Rainer Maria Rilke
Letters to a Young Poet
