Poem: Live The Questions Now

In times of uncertainty, grief, or change, we can ask and live in the questions of our heart. With surrender and trust, we find that one day, we are living in the answers. Laurie shares from a Letter to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke.

Transcript

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.

From Raina Maria Rilke in Letters to a Young Poet.
