Live The Questions Now | Live The Questions Now |

Here, where I am surrounded by an enormous landscape, which the winds move ... across as they come from the seas, here I feel that there is no one anywhere who can answer for you those questions and feelings which, in their depths, have a life of their own; for even the most articulate people are unable to help, since what words point to is so very delicate, is almost unsayable... ...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. -- Reiner Rilke Offered by Charles Knutson, from "Letters from a Young Poet", by Reiner Rilke |
