The Nature of Questions

Today's meditation:

When conducting an interview, or a discovery session...

Asking a question is like plucking a note on a stringed instrument...

The skill of the individual musician will vary...and the richness of what is heard, depends upon the skilll of listener...

Sometimes, the question is not the question.

Sometimes, the question is intended to "move the shade" and "reveal your true face".

Sometimes, the question is to reveal your questions.

Sometimes, the question is to reveal your intentions.

Sometimes, the question is to reveal your doubts and fears.

Sometimes, the question is like tapping a bell, to hear the the resonance of the tone returned.

Sometimes, the question is like tapping the side of a tall opaque jar, to determine the measure of fullness within.

And sometimes, the question is just a question.
