"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."

A Little a.m. Rilke
A dear friend sent the following quote to me this morning. I haven't read Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet in many years--I'm not even certain where my copy is now. But I recognized this bit immediately when I read it. And then I immediately wanted to share it here. It's not much in the way of a blog post, exactly, but it's most certainly worth sharing.

What a perfect pairing to this week's therapy, yoga, acupuncture, art...oh, and the job that pays the bills! I am living it all....even the questions. Thank you for the inspiration. xoxo KP
