I beg you...

to have patience

with everything unresolved in your heart

and 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.

(Rainer Maria Rilke)

"It is interesting to note that, among wolves, no matter how sick, no matter how cornered, no matter how alone, afraid or weakened, the wolf will continue. She will lope even with a broken leg. She will go near others seeking the protection of the pack. She will strenuously outwait, outwit, outrun, and outlast whatever is bedeviling her. She will put her all into taking breath after breath. She will drag herself, if necessary, just like the duckling, from place to place, till she finds a good place, a healing place, a place for thriving". (Women who run with the wolves)

Here is to the wolf in each of us, and to finding our own little spot to thrive.
