I want to beg you, as much as I can, to be patient toward all that is unresolved 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 seek the answers, which cannot be given to 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.
- Rainer Maria Rilke

So true.
My first week of school/induction has been crazy. And I’ve been so caught up with the unpredictablity and uncertainty – that I forget that its all part of the living!
I quote the very beautiful words of Sarah:
Don’t worry about it. It’s the new-ness that makes the experience all the sweeter when you sit down one day and realise that hey, you’ve adjusted, and you’ve found your place, your little routines and familiar favourite spots, and that you belong exactly where you are right now. So revel in the new-ness! Clutch it tight with both hands and savour it while it lasts, while the tangy zest sends electric currents up your spine when you are placed in a new situation before the dread monotony of classes and schoolwork claims your time, your thoughts, your energy and limits the boundaries of life to the classroom, the grocery store, the library and the bed.
The Principal in my college spoke about being thankful as well – such a great attitude to have!
So today, I’m thankful:
I’m listening to Tristan Prettyman, and feeling very happy and contented that my lemon drizzle cake is out. This is all after, a night of cooking, youtubing awesome acoustic tunes, and playing on the guitar.
I might have just re-calibrated. =)
I’m feeling so relieved!
