Untitled

By Rainer Maria Rilke

Be patient toward all that is unresolved
in your heart,
and try to love the questions themselves
like locked rooms or
books that are written in a foreign tongue.

The point is to live everything.

Live the questions now.

Perhaps you will then gradually,
without noticing it,
live your way some distant day
into the answers.
