"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which 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 then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."
Thank you Rainer Maria Wilke for writing such a gripping piece in which I have found my mantra for the year. Trusting life also means not being afraid of holding the questions. And sometimes, holding the question is just as important as knowing the answer.
Beautifully done, Mr. Rainer. May you rest in peace knowing that your lovely prose has given others their own sense of peace.
