    Full of Questions

    “Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.” Voltaire

    The older I get the  fewer answers I know and the more questions I ask. So, here’s a question: What if we seek wisdom and knowledge rather than seeking answers? Is there a difference? It seems pride arises in those who claim to have an answer(s). And, pride will cause us to stop seeking more questions (since we already have the answers). Then, with fewer questions asked will there be less wisdom and knowledge, only answers? And, two may ask the same question but two may not necessarily find the same answer. Is that true of wisdom and knowledge? I’m full of questions. 🙂

    Tremble Court

    Passing Through Tremble Court
    Passing Through Tremble Court

    Tremble Court is a small store in the Old Town Square. Three walkways meet at the store’s front door, one  being an alley. As I was walking through Tremble Court towards the square I noticed this woman walking towards the court from the alley. I walked past the three way intersection while composing an image in my head. I then stopped and turned to wait for her to pass through. She is coming from the direction of a homeless shelter and with her heavy bags I assumed her to be homeless. I took two images as she walked by. She was carrying what I assume to be all she had. Her body is stooped over due to a bad back, heavy bags or both.  When I see homeless people who only own what’s on their back it causes me to realize all that I have.
