“… not a bolt to be tightened…but a seed to be planted” (Great Work quote)
“A good question is never answered.
It is not a bolt to be tightened into place
but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed
toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea.”
~ John Anthony Ciardi

“What do I know to be true?” This has question has served me well – especially in situations that are overcharged with emotion. If you drill down to what you REALLY know to be true in a situation you often find its very little. That leads the way to more questions… to find additional truths.
