Poet David Whyte introduced me to the idea of a beautiful question. When I heard him say it, it was a moment of recognition. I hadn’t realized it before then, but I love beautiful questions – the type that aren’t meant to help you analyze, but rather, to put your mind and heart in a new place.
The right question at the right time is a vehicle. It transports you into the realm of contemplation. You end up in territory that you otherwise would not have traveled to unless the question was asked.
I’ve been offering samples of these questions on Instagram.
