Unresolved questions

I've been waiting for something that would constitute a good blog post and I think I have one coming soon about lectio divina but in the meantime, here's a quote I heard recently about questions.  I've been asking a lot of questions recently, as you may have read in my last few posts.  I don't know if this is a Christian guy or not, but I heard it from my spiritual formation prof, and it's a good reminder to be patient with God and continue to seek Him even when I doubt that I'm doing all I can to be an effective ambassador for Christ.

“Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, as if they were 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 question now.  Perhaps then, some day far in the future you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.” (Rilke)

Also, here's a gif that sums up me + balls:
