Live the Questions of Your Future: A Personal Journey

Poetry has been helpful on my journey of personal and professional discovery. One poem I’ve come to admire and reflect upon is Rainer Maria Rilke’s poem “Live the Question Now.” I especially enjoy this advice: “... have patience with everything in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were [...]
