The Eternal Quest

I recently came upon these wise words by Rilke and have since been thinking about them:

Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart.
Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language.
Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them.
It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question.
Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.

And how true he was, You can only understand the answers when you fully understand the question itself and why was it asked, the reason it was in your heart.
You will find yourself pulling your hair in frustration, because you feel the answer is so close that you can almost grab it the very next second. You wait for that second to come, it slowly turns into long minutes and painful hours.
You spend sleepless nights wondering why is this happening to you, thinking that you were not the one meant to suffer, that you should be the one living the dream.

But that's not the plan life had, and one needs to understand that, ask more questions if one has to. Ask about what you want from life and from those around you.
Ask about whats been troubling you, what makes you happy and what doesn't.
Again you may not get the answers, maybe that's alright, maybe what is more important that we have asked ourselves the right questions, set ourselves on the right path, only then can we start walking on it.

And like we often see, when we stop worrying about the questions, when we stop looking for the destination and just live the journey, we find the answers.
And then you realize, like you do when the first ray of sunshine hits a blooming flower, life indeed is beautiful.
