i beg you...

i beg you,
to have patience with
everything
unresolved in your heart.
and to try.
to love the questions
themselves.

as if they were
locked
in a room
or
books written in
a very foreign
language.

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?
to live.

everything.

live the questions now.
perhaps then,
someday
far in the future.
you will gradually,
without even
noticing it...

you will live your way
into the answers.


so today.
breath in.
and breath out.
look around.
what do you see?


poem compliments of Rainer Maria Rilke. 
i added and changed the style a bit.
