Live the Questions

Thanks to Diana Vogel Ferri, I am reminded that the priest who married CB and me in 1971 gave me this quote just a few years ago when we reconnected:

"I beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given 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."

Rainer Maria Rilke

(Is this the same as "Fake it till you make it"?)
