Questions are free to roam beyond areas of self-inflicted pain, and can be driven by a simple interest, a point of curiosity, or the urge to understand. What all spiritual questions have in common is the compelling force of discovery, the willingness to put aside everything for the sake of wonderment, and the reluctance to be satisfied with a secondhand answer from our intellect. Questioning is relentless, but not armored or violent, and will go anywhere, in innocence, wondering freely, and quiet unto itself.
