imitating the future

11 we're lining up

‘Live the question now.
Perhaps then, someday far in the future,
you will gradually,
without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.’*

Questions bring light.

We often speak about “shedding light” and “seeing the light,” and it sounds as though we’ve found the answers.

But more questions equals more light.

Asking if we’re going with the wrong answers, or whether we’re asking the wrong questions – the easier ones?

It’s best to see everything – nothing hidden.  The best questions open up more, allow us to imagine more, and imitate what we see.

‘Now, more than ever, more of us have the freedom to care, the freedom to connect, the freedom to choose, the freedom to initiate, the freedom to do what matters.  If we choose.**

(*Rainer Maria Rilke, from The Northumbria Community‘s Morning Prayer for 11 January 2016.)
(**From Seth Godin’s It’s Your Turn.)
(Here are ten questions proffered by Seth Godin in his blog today.)
