a quote for today

my yoga teacher read this at the end of class this morning. i'm not much for posting quotes, but it brought some tears up, which leads me to believe that they are words i should pay attention to.


"...have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to 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, 1903
in Letters to a Young Poet

to have patience and ... like he says, live my questions into the answers... every day
