Don't Search For the Answer
sometimes it can be hard to just live with the questions and accept that there is not yet any confirmation in what the truth will be. One can only continue their life on a day to day basis, wondering but be content with that wonder for it is amazing to have so many options for an answer. I heard this quote after a great, cleansing yoga class and it helped to put my swirling mind at peace, which is constantly the challenge.
"...I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, 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
