Wisdom on the Shelf of Chapters

I walk into Chapters yesterday and, there on a shelf, are these words written by Rainer Maria Rilke:

"i beg you...to have patience with everything
unresolved in your heart and 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 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..."

It sorta took my breath away, this passage. It was like something placed these words specifically in my path. Embrace the questions themselves. When i am ready for the answers they will come. No rush. No panic. Lovely. Truly Lovely.

I believe strongly if you, too, are reading these words now, they were meant to speak to you. I give you them and welcome you onto this journey of Not Knowing.

Get ready to, as a highschool friend of mine had stenciled on the side of his car,
Get in, sit down, shut up...
and hang on....
