Two Quotes from Rainer Maria Rilke

If you trust in Nature, in what is simple in Nature, in the small Things that hardly anyone sees and that can so suddenly become huge, immeasurable; if you have this love for what is humble and try very simply, as someone who serves, to win the confidence of what seems poor: then everything will become easier for you, more coherent and somehow more reconciling, not in your conscious mind perhaps, which stays behind, astonished, but in your innermost awareness, awakeness, and knowledge.
…love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers…Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answers.
