while fixing my things

never expected to find a copy of this poem just hiding beneath a pile of handouts.

Be patient
Try to love the questions.
Do not seek the answers
which cannot be given:
You would not be able to live them.
Live everything.
Live the questions now;
You will then gradually
without noticing it
Live into the answers
some distant day.

(Rainier Maria Rilke)
