Day 2-9 -- A question-filled day

Quesitons. Today was filled with questions but few answers.  Work brought with it several conundrums. Plans are moving forward but the end points remain unclear for a while longer. Life brought questions dealing with self and immediate surroundings. Some answers there, but others still in the wind.

I have always enjoyed asking questions and working to find answers. These questions have some importance to me personally and to the way I understand me and my place in the world -- often philosophical in nature. When presented with a question from others, the process becomes much more challenging.Often these are questions of less personal interest to me or are questions of power between people that can be very complicated to tease apart.  Such questions are often part of the work and professional world. Still, they are puzzles of sorts and I do like to try to solve a mystery <smile>. When many questions arise at the same time, it can become overwhelming. An answer cupboard would be ideal -- since finding all the answers on one's own can become impossible. Working with others to address some of the questions can bring richer solutions with somewhat less stress. Additional viewpoints can work miracles.

The selection for today came to mind while reflecting on questions encountered during the day and watching the snow and rain blown sideways by the wind. It is an older song but the chorus phrases spoke to me today. This version is a cover of the original by a group that made it one of their own. Enjoy!
