breathing...

it's not as simple as one thinks. I know quite a few people who have a hard time just catching their breath, regardless of whether they've been running a particular race towards or away from some thing. Breathing is not such an easy thing to do, especially properly.

i beg you... to have patience with everything
unresolved in your heart and to try to love the
questions themselves as if the were locked
rooms or books written in a very foreign
language. Don't search for the answers which
could not be given 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. -- Rainer Maria Rilke

And maybe that's the crux of it: the questions are the answers.

The questions are the markers (some call them road blocks) by which God speaks to you. Obviously some thing is amiss otherwise the questions wouldn't even arise. But then the quandary of "even the devil can appear as an angel." Yeah... again it's not so easy but that devil in disguise would not have appeared without it being for a revelation of God's purpose within you.
So what's the answer? Three - as in three more things: discernment, patience and humility.
Yet again the notion of "Three": with yourself, the questions and especially with God.
These are things that are just about as easy as breathing. But I liken it to this: every spring, there's something in the air where you can just feel that the winter frost has broken. There's a quality that you can even smell and when I happen upon that day, you can't imagine how deep by breathe goes.
