Rilke
‘...I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to 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 questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.’
Goethe
‘Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.’
Lao Tzu
Always we hope
Someone else has rthe answer
Some other place will be better,
Some other time it will turn out.
This is it.
No one else has the answer
And it has already turned out.
At the center of your being
You have the answer
You know who you are
And you know what you want.
There is no need
To run outside
For better seeing.
Nor to peer from a window.
Rather abide at the center of your being;
For the more you leave it, the less you learn.
Search your heart
And see
The way to do
Is to be.

And you know what you want.

Rather abide at the center of your being;
For the more you leave it, the less you learn.
Search your heart

Faulds
The path to peace is not
serene. It will use you up
and bring the whole of you
forward into the light.
If you don’t wish to be
seen in your entirety, go
back to sleep right now.
