Remembering the Questions - excerpts from Rilke
I want to beg you as much as I can to be patient toward all that's unsolved in your heart and learn to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms. Or like books that are written in a foreign tongue.
Do not seek 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 gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
Concentration, attention, and intelligence are friends of the soul, but kindness, forgiveness, and generosity are the soul itself.
When everything is experienced as part of our eternal soul's journey, we can relax. We can let go into the perfection of God's plan for us. Practice leaning on God. Practice being full of faith.
