“The ability to ask beautiful questions, often in very unbeautiful moments, is one of the great disciplines of a human life. And a beautiful question starts to shape your identity as much by asking it as it does by having it answered.” David Whyte
A few years ago I became less interested in answers and more interested in the questions. We already have too many people who have the answers. I’m grateful for the inquisitive minds in our world today, always looking for another question. Those questioning minds belong to the creatives, the prophets, researchers, the explorers, the seekers.

Several years ago, Kathy & I adopted the concept of “question everything.” Our intent at the time was to try and use the concept as a way to confirm our choices and options, to be sure we weren’t simply accepting the “default” or the “path of least resistance.” That idea has developed slowly, and while we’re not as far along the path as you are, we see it more and more as a way to search for truth. As far as answers are concerned, you are correct that far too many people have answers. The problem is that their answers aren’t our answers, and too often they are not answers to the right questions.

Searching for truth is a tough target to hit. Always seems to be moving. I see that in you two.
