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 in the future,
you will gradually,
without even noticing it,
live your way into the answer.
~ Rilke

Happy New Year - and thanks for the Rilke! A lovely way to roll into 2012.
I read this twice--I had forgotten about it and the music of the lyrics made me smile. Thanks!
