What is your question?
Sue Heatherington @ The Waterside

What is your question?

No, honestly – what is your question?

I’m not asking because you’ve got it wrong.

Or you are stupid.

You’re not.

But I do want to know what is the question you carry with you.

That unsettling perhaps, or that doubt that can’t entirely be subdued.

Or that possibility that is threatening to burst in on your consciousness, whose implications are perhaps too wild to tame.

So, I wonder, what is your question?

And is now the time to let it out of its box?

~ Over the weekend, a friend gave me a fruitfully unsettling question… Thanks, Rich.

What if....? That's my question Sue Heatherington. I remember my younger brother lying on his back on the kitchen table - maybe he was 5 or so - looking at the ceiling & saying: what if we could walk up there.... "What if" is my go to!

    We have two ears and only one mouth...

    There’s a good reason for this. We need two ears to listen well.

    We see all the time our eyes are open. And usually, that seeing is made up of two sights – one from each eye.
