Sometimes a better question changes everything.

At other times a change in my direction makes the question possible.

Did the question reorient me?

Or did the reorientation give me the question?

Hard to say.

Maybe both.

Maybe neither.

Maybe asking which came first is above my pay grade.

Below my purpose.

Another version of keeping score on theboss.

I notice the pattern

when my questions are noisy.

The answers are reactive,

Too fast to reveal the truth.

When I’m facing something closer to right,

The questions are quiet.

They get simpler.

The answers get louder.

Heavier.

Truer.

Like they were waiting for me.

Waiting for me to notice

what is here.
