Questioning

     Questioning means longing to know the truth deeply, 
     and insisting that we can. It means leaving whatever 
     distant slant we may occupy to come close and see
     more directly what is true. And it means being 
     willing to be honest about how we ourselves are 
     seeing things, even if that vision differs from the norm. 
     Learning to question means feeling we have the innate right 
     to all of this.
