A Poem

Morning Meditation by Rainer Maria Rilke 

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. 

Do not 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.
