I want to beg you to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the quesitons themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foriegn 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.
Rilke

Hey, E. I've been feeling a little bit the refugee lately and I'm learning to live the questions. Thanks for giving me a few words for my experience. I still like having words for it, even if I don't have answers--I'm not that enlightened yet. It's inspiring reading what's going on with you and K, and hearing about it from the Dilbones.
