Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart,
and try to love the questions themselves.
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.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Live the questions - that sure makes me think - but can I be doing that while I'm seeking the answer? Trusting the Answer of course.
Just wondering, thanks for posting this!

One of my absolute favorite quotations. We may be strangers, and I may not know at all what it is like to walk in the life you are living right now, but over and over your words echo pieces of my life and spirit. Thank you so much for writing them, and know that even I - a stranger - pray often for you and your family. God bless!

Terry, I don't envy Tricia's ability to write but when I started to read her blog I thought, THIS is how I want to write--tell deep things of the heart and spirit in simple words. Story-telling. Isn't that what Jesus did? I just felt her words were like snowflakes one can barely feel, full of truth and healing and beauty.
Love,
J.
