A quote from one of my Christmas gifts.

"...Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves...Do not...seek the answers, 3which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will...graduall, without noticing it, live along soome distant day into the answer."
~Rainer Maria Rilke
Letters to a Young Poet. Letter No. 4. Translated by M.D. Herter

Thank you for visiting me, and please go back to my blog - I love your quote today. Aren't words profound?

Should have said to revisit me because I borrowed your most wonderful Christmas gift quote. I try to do a Sunday Serenity post each week and your Rilke words fit perfectly. Thank you!
