Here’s another quality of generous questions, questions as social art and cvic tools: they may not want answers, or not immediately. They might be raised in order to be pondered, dwelt on, instead.*
Krista Tippett

Given the uniqueness of each of us, it should not be surprising that one of the greatest challenges is to inhabit our own individuality and to discover which life-form best expresses it.**
John O’Donohue

You don’t have to ask the same questions as everyone else –
Indeed, I’d rather you didn’t,
I hope you’ll ask the questions that only you can because
I know that I need them –
Born of your generosity, the
expression of your uniqueness, the ones
no-one else thought to ask:
Why is that?

Perhaps all of our questions are iterations of
the one big inquiry our lives are about? –
It feels so for me:
Who is your true self?
What is your contribution?
And the thousands of other inquiries …
All different ways for asking,
Do you know how utterly amazing
humans can be,
How amazing you are? –
What’s yours?
