You were a month of drifting, but with fresh buds of promise that there may be good things on the horizon.
I beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and 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. - See more at:

During the long past month, I wasn't very inspired to pull out my camera and use it. However, a trip up to my husband's parents' home gifted me with some scenic views and pretty blossoms. At the moment, I am a little frustrated with the limitations of the kit lens that came with my camera (just realized I need a lens with a smaller f stop for better aperture range!), but until I can save up for a better quality lens, this shall have to do. I took hundreds of photos, but these are most definitely my favorites.
I was musing on this excerpt from one of my favorite selections, Letters to a Young Poet, by Rainer Maria Rilke.
Be patient toward all that is unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves,
like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign
tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because
you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live
everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually,
without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
I am not yet there - the place of patience with all that is unresolved in my heart. I hope and sense that I am closer to that place than I was at the end of 2014. There are some big changes coming up this summer in my life, but I feel not quite ready to meet them in my current state. I have no control over the progress that my own heart makes and that leaves me a little more than flustered and frustrated. I know I must trust this journey that I am on. Trust my Father's heart that He will provide for each laborious step.

Do you think it all means nothing, all the longing? The longing for home?
// Brennan Manning //
Believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance,
and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so
large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step
outside it.
// Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet //
Now so much I know, that things just don't grow if you don't bless them with your patience.
