LIVE THE QUESTIONS NOWI

I want to beg you as much as I can to be patient
Toward all that's unsolved in your heart,
And to learn to love the questions themselves,
Like locked rooms
Or like books that are written in a foreign tongue.

Do not seek the answers that 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 then, gradually,
Without noticing it,
Live along some distant day
Into the answer.

 Rainer Maria Rilke
(From "Love and Other Difficulties")

 

RELATIONSHIP


 The worst word "I"
stick-like, unbending
solitary
an island of sound
a cry, a plea
a single "me"

The best word "us"
a link, a bridge,
two sounds joined
a greater whole
a kiss

Éva Borka

 

 

When I was young, I believed that life
Must unfold in an orderly way, according to my hopes and expectations.
But now I understand that the Way winds like a river;
Always changing, ever onward, following God's gravity
Toward the Great Sea of Being.
My journeys revealed that
The Way itself creates the Warrior;
That every path leads to peace,
Every choice to wisdom.
And that life has always been,
And will always be,
Arising in Mystery.

From: "Journey of Socrates" Dan Millman
