questions.

i found this quote on my professor's blog (dr. michael stroope) and can't stop thinking about it. let me know what you think.

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart...
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.
Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it,
live along some distant day into the answer."

--Ranier Maria Rilke

if i ever write a book, i think this quote will be on the first page.
