Letters to a Young Poet
There's been a "what's the best advice you've ever gotten" meme going around my f-list and this morning Jane Fonda posted the following in her blog.
“Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart
And try to love the questions themselves.
Don’t search for the answers,
Which could not be given to you now,
Because you would not be able to live them.
Live the questions now,
Perhaps then, someday far in the future,
you will gradually, without even noticing it,
live your way into the answer”
Rilke “Letters to a Young Poet”
