Be patient to all that is unresolved in your heart
and try to love the questions like locked
rooms or books that are written in a foreign tongue.
The point is to live everything. Live the questions now.
Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it,
live your way some distant day into the answers.
- Ranier Maria Rilke
What a reminder to simply be here now ...
and simply do the next right thing!
Its all pretty simple
(notice I did not say easy)
if I do just that ... love what is before me at this moment
and leave the rest up to God!
I read a poem many year ago that went something like this ....
God always answers prayer ...
the answers are yes, no, or wait ...
and know that God always walks with you there!
I don't think I have learned to LOVE the questions,
but I have learned to live with them more precefully!
For that, I am most grateful!
What about you?
Love, Cate
