Start the Year Right

And for me, one of the ways to do that is by starting to reread Rilke , my favorite writer. Here is a hopeful note for the rest of the year: "...be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now." -from Letters to a Young Poet I hope that every single one of us finds ourselves living out some of the answers to questions we may have, be they minute, trivial or life-changing. The point, be it painful or joyous, would be to LIVE.
