Day by day, and trying to live this...
A quote from Rainer Maria Rilke:
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart
And try to love the questions themselves
Do not seek the answers that cannot be given 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 along some distant day into the answers...
I'm not sure who translated it from German, but it fits my situation perfectly, even though I don't know if I want there to be 'some distant day'.
