Rilke “Letters to a Young Poet”

Jul 03.09

“Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart
And try to love the questions themselves.
Don’t search for the answers,
Which could not be given to you now,
Because you would not be able to live them.
Live the questions now,
Perhaps then, someday far in the future,
you will gradually, without even noticing it,
live your way into the answer”

    Our yoga instructor read this to us at the end of the class yesterday. Maybe it’s time to read the book.
