Some of My Favorite Things Part 1 of 7

Here in the Middle East, it is customary to bring treats (chocolates) when you are celebrating something like a birthday or something good. Since I can't give you food, I've decided that every day this week, I will share some of my Favorite Things with you. It's the best I can do via electronics.

Today's offering is my favorite poem from
"Letter to a Young Poet" by Rainer Maria Rilke

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.
