Thank you so much for this. You have no idea how needed it is. A recommendation for you that a friend just gave to me: Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke.
“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.”
Isabelle! The pleasure is all mine. Thank you so much for taking the time to read.
And I loooove almost anything by Rainer Maria Rilke. Especially "Letters to a Young Poet" and most especially, the quote you named. I feel a sense of calm every time I read it. Thank you for such a beautiful reminder.
