Life in Portland

This is a quote from Rilke from aliedwards website...yes, I can identify with it..very mixed emotions lately..up and down and up and down...etc etc etc...talked with c from flag and that was good; it helped my spirits. watched the dnc tonight and that was hopeful. sure hope bo makes it...went to a birthday party for our dean, it was fun and I enjoyed getting to know more of the staff and faculty. off to the conference tomorrow...hope to see some people I know from all around the country...good nite...patience is the hardest lesson for me! Rainer Maria Rilke : Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.
