Living in the question - Next!

Physician Executive, July-August, 1999 by Joe Flower

Being curious opens every pore, excites the nerve endings, jazzes the sensorium.

My favorite personal coach, my wife Patrice Guillaume, says in her latest newsletter, "There's a luscious spaciousness created when one lives in the question, a freedom. The questions bring us back to the present moment, reconnect us to the rich texture of our lives. They create possibility, open doors to discovery, and invite our lives to unfold and evolve as an expression of ourselves."

What are you curious about? What do you no longer question? Where are you living in the question?
