Questions
** Warning: Post Requires Reader Interaction 
**
Very few things are as formative as a thoughtful (often times provocative) question. It is the type of question you can’t get away from, it seems to follow you to work, to leisure time, sometimes even while you sleep.
These aren’t necessarily questions that you’re afraid to answer, but they do cost something, they deserve honest deliberation – they force us to stop and deal with them. I am convinced it is by asking/being asked these types of questions (more than having the answers) that we begin to gain healthy, critical access to the world around us – and perhaps equally important – to our very selves.
I am thankful for the people and/or situations that have introduced these types of questions into my life, and provoked the wrestling that always comes next. It is a priority of mine to be surrounded by people who will continue to speak into my life in this way. Often (if not always) profound, these questions are not necessarily complex. Many times it has been something as simple as, “Do you have to continue doing ____ that way?”
So, to kick off the week we’d all like to hear from you:
What’s a great question you’ve encountered recently? Were you the one asking or the one being asked?
What’s a question you have avoided asking or need someone to ask you?
Your Turn
I have thoroughly enjoyed these first few weeks in the life of Perpetual Becoming. It’s been great to dialogue with many of you, and I’ve learned from the great insights you have shared. At this juncture I want to pause for a different type of post. Let me refer to an excerpt from the Back Story section of Perpetual Becoming:
“…more than having any of you hear from me I’d love to hear from you. My goal for this platform is that it would be place where multiple people contribute – both as authors of content and partners in the dialogue that will hopefully ensue.”
I remain committed to that vision for this forum, and I would like to see it be realized even now. So, after producing a few posts from my vantage point I’d like to hear from you. After gathering feedback I’ll work to get some of it on the site in coming weeks. Please take a few minutes and respond with some thoughts, comments, or ideas:
What is something you would like to see discussed in this forum that is part of your own becoming process?
Do you have something you’ve written or art you’d like to share as a guest contributor? Or perhaps you haven’t created it yet but you’d like help developing it?
Any other thoughts or feedback?
