Be patient with all that is unresolved in your heart... Live the questions now.

While I have been on retreat this week, I have prayed over this beautiful reflection by Rainer Maria Rilke:

Be patient with all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue.  Do not now search the answers which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them.  And the point is, to live everything.  Live the questions now.  Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
