rilke quote

rita made a comment that made me think
of this rilke quote. i love this one...
wanted to share....

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.

it was hers

“they took. they invaded. they pushed. they violated. in so many different ways. a lifetime of pushes and takings and making her feel less than valuable. sitting back, she began to see it. how it had gone on and on. and in seeing it, she began to realize - it was up to her now to shout, to whisper, to sing, to move and to believe in her value. no more taking that from her. it was hers. no more giving it away. it was hers. proudly, with strength and with knowing, she held it. she lived it. she became it.”
