Letter to a Young Poet

Rainer Maria Rilke - Live the Questions Now
...I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to 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 far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903in Letters to a Young Poet


This is a quote that I have loved for several years. I am especially drawn to these lines "Don't search for the answers... And the point is to live everything." I am so inspired by quotes, quips and stories that offer a balance of peace and energy. I am learning how to move, be nimble, be inspired and yet maintain the calm and peace that brings joy.
