"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."
~ Ranier Marie Rilke, 'Letters to a Young Poet'

I absolutely agree with this statement. For me, experience is what counts because it comes from the individual and not the collective.
How can I talk about something I have not experienced? Impossible since it would not be from me but from mass consciousness.
The question is most important.
Thank you
Frances.
