"Who has not sat before his own
heart's curtain?
It lifts: and the scenery is falling apart.
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

So this past Shabbat, Shira Moskovitz led the liberal service and included part of that poem. I totally fell in love with it.
P.S. I miss you!
