Live in the questions

“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart.

...live in the question.”

Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

________________________________________________________

I have so many questions

The longer I live

The more I have

It seems as for every answer

There are 5 questions,

Waiting to ambush me

And so I walk each day

With so much unresolved

Living the questions

Knowing that perhaps there is no answer

to be found in this world

in this moment

only in the depth of eternity

and maybe not then

perhaps then it won’t matter anymore

as I find resolution

and return to the One from whom I came

Why do children get sick?

Whey do parents brutalize their children, mental, and physically?

Why are we so selfish?

Why do wicked people seem to prosper?

Why do we so easily believe liars?

Where am I going?

Has my life been worth anything?

Why am I so often lonely?

Why do I do so many stupid things?

How do we create change?

How do we defeat evil?

These things torment me, and go unresolved

Yet I will hold them patiently

And I will let them go

For they are of no earthly good

Of no heavenly good either

and the answers are sometimes worse

being not the answer

really

so

I will live in the questions...

And keep walking

Keep searching

Keep trying

Keep loving (as best I can)

peace
