Sublime
An inspiration engine for ideas
Rainer Maria Rilke • Letters to a Young Poet
Rainer Maria Rilke describes this gracefully: 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. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
Larry Yang • Awakening Together: The Spiritual Practice of Inclusivity and Community
On the one hand, I want to encourage you in your grief, so that you may fully experience it in all its depth. For as an encounter with a new intensity, it is a profound experience of life and leads you back toward life again, as all things do that reach a certain degree of extremity.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Maria Popova • Live the Questions: Rilke on Embracing Uncertainty and Doubt as a Stabilizing Force
John O’Donohue, a former Irish Catholic priest, philosopher, poet, and, in his own words, mystic
Daniel J. Siegel • IntraConnected
It doesn’t matter if answers aren’t immediately forthcoming; the point, in Rainer Maria Rilke’s famous phrase, is to ‘live the questions’.
