Thought of the Week

“Toward all that is unsolved in your heart be patient.”

—Rainer Maria Rilke

Letters to a Young Poet

Toward all that is unsolved in your heart be patient.  Try to love the questions themselves like books written in a very foreign tongue.  Do not now seek 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 then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.


-Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
