Patience

Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms, or books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you, 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.

Letters to a Young Poet, Rainer Maria Rilke (Amazon)

Of writing, Rilke wrote: Depict your sorrows and desires, your passing thoughts and beliefs in some kind of beauty — depict all that with heartfelt, quiet, humble sincerity; and use to express yourself the things that surround you, the images of your dreams and the objects of your memory.

This sentiment defines my blog, which now stands at 1,505 posts since June, 6, 2011.

btw: Happy pi day (3/14/15) = 3.14159 = 23 ;-) where pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter ( Area = Πr² ) and is an infinite number, which means you can never reach the end of it...
