Aldgate Village WellThe Austrian poet, Rainer Maria Rilke, once wrote:
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And 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.”
We are continually invited into a place where it is not the knowing of answers which is important, but our willing capacity to live the questions themselves. Today, we attend to Scripture in the asking of questions, “What does this passage reveal to us about God? His nature, his purposes, his will for humanity?”
“What does this passage reveal to us about the nature and vocation of the people of God?” “What does this passage reveal that might shape me as an individual follower of Jesus?” Live the questions . . . the answers may arrive in surprising, disturbing and engaging ways . . .
