Full of Question...

It seems that regardless of circumstance we all look back at what we have done, forward to what we will do and ultimately whether any of it is right.

I often find myself truly frustrated when I can't figure out the answers that I'm searching for and I'm being too stubborn to really listen for them.

Luckily, I stumbled into some words of wisdom in a letter from the book Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke:

"Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms 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 is to live everything. Live the question now. Perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."

Leave it to a simple letter to turn a girl Full of Question back to Full of Reason.


Be full of reason.
Choose to reason.
