I am a question asker and a truth seeker. I do not have much in the way of status in my life, nor security. I have been on a quest, as it were, from the beginning.*
M. C. Richards
The wandering flâneur is a more open spirit, I would say, then the purposive wayfarer, because his or her knowledge of places and people can expand in unforeseen ways.**
Richard Sennett
You can never ask two many questions or
seek too much truth in your zest for life,
Though the way we go about it matters –
Around asking questions, James Clear suggests being pleasant and
turning up daily, which sounds like good advice;^
There are at least two ways to go about this:
With focus and purpose, or
with wandering and openness –
Your particular creativity will lead you into one or the other.
We’re all creative, and
it doesn’t take long to identify how –
Such is my finding from almost twenty years of exploring these things with
a diversity of people;
As educationalist Sir Ken Robinson wrote:
When people say to me that they are not creative,
I assume that they just haven’t learnt what is involved.^^
And what are we doing when asking questions and seeking truth
if not learning?
