Times are tough, so I thought I would share a little poetry here to lighten the mood. One of my absolute favorite quotes about learning and love is from Rainer Maria Rilke, and it goes like this:
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and 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. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
Live the questions now.
Farewell, 2021.
