Rainer Maria Rilke, in Letters to a Young Poet, says the following:

    I would like to beg you...as well as I can, to have patience with everything unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves...Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will gradually, without noticing it, live your way into the answer.


This has been so true in my life. Many times things have happened to me that, at the time, seemed disastrous, or at the very least disabling. Wasted time was spent trying to figure out the answers to my dilemmas, only to find that if I live the questions, the answers always come.
