.. sometimes you want so badly something to happen that will resolve a painful situation, or someone to come out of suffering and you can't know why its happening and you can't do a damn thing... this quote by Rilke is amazing...

. 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.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~
(Letters to a Young Poet, translated by Stephen Mitchell)

Yeah, that's great, Kavisha; got a Chrissie card with the first two lines of this quoted so it's nice to see the rest. I love Rilke's ruthless passion to go deep into the nature of things. Here's something I love (quoting from memory) from his Duino Elegies:

Those things that live on departure understand when you praise them; fleeting, they look for rescue through something in us -- the most fleeting of all.

Thanks once again, Max
