Moving questions

The mind works best in the presence of a question.*
(Nancy Kline)

[W]e are not the stones over which the stream of the world flows; we are the stream itself […] this ceaseless change does not mean discontinuity; rather change is itself the very basis of our continuity as persons. Only that which can change can continue.**
(James Carse)

Wouldn’t it be great if you could buy a bag of questions like you can buy a bag of jelly beans, every flavour enjoyed would lead to a different kind of question appearing in your thoughts?

Well, they may not come to us as jelly beans but they do appear in our reading, in our walking, in our gazing, in our meeting with others …; the world is full of questions, which means, we are full of questions, we only have to allow them to form rather than always wanting the easy answers.

Coming up with questions is how we keep changing, keep moving.
