I was thinking about this quotation in our last class discussion when were talking again about questions. It's from one of my favorite texts (not a theological text), and I thought that I would share it with you:
"You are so young, so before all beginning, and I want to beg you, as much as I can, dear sir, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. 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 now." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke in Letters to a Young Poet
