THE POWER & PAIN OF THE QUESTION

“Have patience with everything that remains uresolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be give to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.”

Rainer Maria Rilke

We can’t blame ourselves for the pursuit of the answers to what is unresolved. This is human nature and evolution. What happens when we get so caught up that we forget and disrespect what the question was?
