Discover Questions

 

"Literature stops life for the purpose of examining it." ~ William Faulkner


Writers have posed and pursued questions since Socrates who said, "The unexamined life is not worth living," 

Rainer Maria Rilke wrote, ". . . and the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." 


American naturalist, John Burroughs, wrote as he traveled. He claimed, "I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think. All the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read and all the friends I want to see."

Let creativity and curiosity serve as a rallying cry. 
          Consider how to define "examine"?

                 Discover ways to pursue the questions.
