MESSAGE #218 - FOUND IN A STATIONERY STORE IN NYC...

I beg you to have patience
with everything unresolved
in your heart and 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 1875-1926
German writer
