about this blog
“live the questions now” was started in 2006 as a place for occasional thoughts, mostly on education and learning, as well as a way to document and share live events. I consider myself to be a slow blogger (thank you, Todd Sieling, for defining this practice so well), so please bear with the pace of my postings.
this blog gets its name from an excerpt from rainer maria rilke’s letters to a young poet:
I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to 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. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
