Quote

Read a recent newspaper column that had the following quote from a letter written more than 100 years ago by an Austrian poet named Ranier Rilke:

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything."

I'm assuming that basically this means worry only about the stuff you can control and let the other things go. Easier said than done! What this has to do with who is going to win this week's U.S. Open golf tournament, I'm not sure....
