Anywhere Wisdom

It's become clear to me that wisdom is all around us, just waiting to be discovered. For example last night I went shopping with my friend at Winners, and near the checkouts I saw a black tote bag with a bunch of writing. Being a lover of words, I went closer to have a look at the message, and found this beautiful quote on it:

"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." - Ranier Maria Rilke

This is not the first time I've randomly found an inspiring message just through the routines of day to day living, and I'm sure there are many gems out there still waiting to be found. I guess it's sort of like a perpetual Easter egg hunt where the goodies are nuggets of wisdom and this world a goldmine overflowing with it.
