The Right Questions.

A couple of late night thoughts from Peter Block's "The Answer To How Is Yes" via Joseph Myers "Organic Community".

Transformation (side note: Mars Hill is committed to measuring success by stories of transformation) comes more from pursuing profound questions than seeking practical answers.

When we look for tools and techniques, which are part of the How? question, we preempt other kinds of learning. In a sense, if we want to know what really works, we must carefully decide which are the right questions for this moment. Good questions work on us, we don't work on them. They are not a project to be completed but a doorway opening onto a greater depth of understanding, action that will take us into being more fully alive.

So, what questions are you pursuing?
What questions are working on you?

Let's ask some profound questions together.
