Day One

Posted on the 01 January 2013 by Asoloaffair @a_solo_affair

This morning, I woke up early (sans hangover) and excited for the day. Today, and for the remaining 364 days, I’m going to consciously move forward with purpose.

A close friend sent the following quote to me this morning and it beautifully sums up everything we’ve talked about on A Solo Affair thus far. It touches on letting go, discovery and trusting that those unanswered questions when left alone, will in fact, answer themselves.

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves—like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. The point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
― Rainer Maria RilkeLetters to a Young Poet
