What I'm trying to live right now

I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have a patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or 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
Letter to a Young Poet
