Because of Amy

Jun 4, 2009  |  Posted by: Megan Stay

I have this quote in my life. I needed it this week.

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 now 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 then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.

Rainer Maria Rilke from Letters to a Young Poet

    Thanks for sharing this, Megs. Live the questions…such a great recipe for contented peace.

    PS — my verify word is blest — how harmonizing (despite a weird spelling) is that?
