89. Living the Questions: A New M2M Series

<p>The title of this new series is inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke&#39;s passage from <em>Letters to a Young Poet</em>: &quot;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.” </p> <p>In this new M2M series, which will be monthly or every other month, I want to respond to the questions on your heart that you <em>must</em> ask - not the questions you <em>should</em> ask, or even the ones you <em>want</em> to ask. You know it&#39;s a question that you must ask because it sings from your heart. In the asking, you begin to live your way into the answer. The point is not to hear what I have to say about it as much as to speak your question, trusting that if it&#39;s a question you must ask, then it&#39;s also a question that is in some way bigger than yourself. These are questions than live in other bodies, too. And so let&#39;s share them together, each of us responding to them and living them in our own weird ways. </p> <p>I share what I am learning and living from the questions, but not to give answers that solve problems or tie things with a bow. I can only answer emergently from the present moment, trusting that my personal truth in the question will light something up in the listener. </p> <p>In this 1st episode, I share 5 questions that I have recently been asked.

Know that it&#39;s in the speaking your question that you will feel a shift, not from my respon
