‘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’ ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Hang in there! It’ll become easier… until you are completely above the water.
Live the questions… an interesting thought for someone who is always desperately looking ahead to find out the answers…
Rilke. Smartarse. ALWAYS has to be right.
Lie still and float.

that’s one of my fave Rilke quotes & still i sometimes forget that living the question may very well be the only answer!
thinking of you wahine and sending you aroha

mmmm. living in the “i don’t know”.
so potent, requiring so much awareness.
so much letting go…
thanks for the reminder. xx lisa

Beautiful image and quote! If you lie still and let everything come to you you will float (unles of cvourse you have weights..in which case you need to cast those aside)

Maybe some questions don’t have answers, and we need to let the questions go. Get some scuba gear if you have to, but keep breathing, in and out. You’re okay as long as you just keep breathing.
Beautiful photo and quote. I hope you float to shore soon.
: )
Exquisite words to describe what feels so often like an exquisite pain in the ass.
keep breathing. time.
Fantasic picture. Hope you OK, be kind to yourself.
Sas, little something for you on my blog, do call over. :)
It’s been 7 days since you last confession
We do worry so
These bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything
I think I need water wings sometimes, otherwise I’d diappear under the surface. Hope all is well.
