«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. And the point it, 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.»
Author: Rainer Maria Rilke

It does come. I learn it daily, learn it with pain to which I am grateful?»
Author: Rainer Maria Rilke
