this i needed to hear today...

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.

Wonderful quote! I would add this one from Rilke as well:

i live my life in growing orbits
which move out over the things of the world
perhaps i can never achieve the last,
but that will be my attempt.
i am circling around god, the ancient tower,
and i have been circling for a thousand years,
and i still don't know if i am a falcon,
or a storm,
or a great song.
