Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart



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

And the point is, to live everything
Live the questions now

Perhaps then, someday far in the future,
You will gradually, without even noticing it,
Live your way into the answer

Rainer Maria Rilke




For me this piece translates the subtle, beautiful feeling that flows from a deep acceptance of circumstances; the recognition of grace at work. The presence of love guiding and healing and moving all things.

Releasing the tension of trying to fix and correct circumstances, the falling back into trust and patience- ahh... and allowing the resolution to unfold, much as in a deep opening in a yoga pose that can only really come from softening rather than striving.
