i beg you... to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a 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, some day far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer... ~ rainer maria wilke

The only thing is (at least the way i see it right now) is that some of those unresolved things in our hearts need very much to be resolved now. I don't think it's good to leave all your questions until they become "resolved" one day in the future...
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can clarify what the comment was supposed to mean, perhaps i'm not understanding it the way wilke wanted it to be understood
Rilke, Ezzie. Rainier Maria RILKE.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, it's all good.
Rainer, Chana. RAINER Maria Rilke.
