The virtue of patience according to German poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926):
Have patience with everything that remains unsolved. 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.

Inge,
This quote is so apparent for me in my life now. I need to be a more patient person with a situation I am experiencing. Thanks!
Whatever the issue is, Kelsey, I'll hope you'll be able to resolve it eventually (I won't say 'soon' because that would be too impatient of me!). Take care :-).
