Live the Questions



I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. 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 is 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. - Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903 in Letters to a Young Poet



Play with questions rather than search for answers.


Ask.

Which part of my mind will lead?



Should I ascend or descend?


Will I plunge deeper down all the way to the bottom of a situation or zip higher up?

How about a flight into the wide open spaces?



What if I embrace a journey into the wild frontier where none of typical rules hold true?







There is no rush to decide

Dwell in the unknown for a while.





Live the questions.
