The new year has dawned rainy and bleak. We’re stuck in the house and everyone is crawling the walls (save daddy who’s been on a conference call since 8am). Tomorrow morning’s school day can’t come soon enough. We’ve already been to Target and Bread & Circus and I’ve made about six kinds of organic vegetables and homemade chicken nuggets for the children. And it’s 9:50. Diego here we come …

An oldie but goodie that gives me solace in a time of such change and flux:

….have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to 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.
– Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
