Dear HO,
I am asking a question intrigued by "sitting".
How come I tend to find answers to my questions when those asked by me
just sit there and kind of look remote or something?
cheers

appreciate questions. But at the end of the day, I suspect it has more
to do with maturity (some might say antiquity) than culture. In West
Africa, the Elders’ job is to ponder the question. And more often than
not, their “answer” is another question. Buddhism, in various forms
seems to find real meaning in “sitting” the question. Old and/or mature
folks seem to do it “best.” Or something.

Hey Harold and World,
Merry Orthodox Christmas from Moldova where it has been snowing all day!!!
Your question triggered a different kind of questionING in me.
Personally I find questions/inquiry and Rilke's 'Live the questions now'
approach very useful.
*However my increasing sensitivity to culture makes me wonder whether
this approach works for everybody, or whether it is a cultural thing,
fitting more an inquiring Western culture? Sometimes do we overemphasise
this approach, use it in a kind of universal way?*
I have my own answers/experiences to the above questions but of course
won't share them because you asked for questions!
Smiles Bhav...
p.s. Harold, we met at the WOSonOS in London and talked a bit about
complexity and Cynefin...

Beloved Open Space Community!
Instead of sharing New Years Resolutions (which never seemed to have
worked for me), would you share your New Years Questions? In other
words, what are the most alive and juicy questions and inquiries you
might ask the Universe in 2016?
As a part of this invitation, I'm specifically *not* asking for answers,
nor would it be appropriate for me or others to answer any of these
questions in this thread. If you want to ask a question and get an
answer - feel free to start another thread.

Thanks!
