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

  1. Thank you, Julie.
    I was thinking to not repress my troubled feelings, confusion, and reconsiderations. I will let them bubble up and ripple out of me, finding a distant shore upon which to resolve.

    P.S. I am absolutely loving the herbs and products. They are genuinely superb!!

  2. I wholeheartedly agree! Similarly, "The degree of negative emotion you are feeling about something - fear, worry, anger - indicates the degree of your resistance to receiving your desire." - Abraham
    Love what is and focus on the good. :-)
