Day 2's Question, from Visionary Jonathan Fields:
“You wake up to discover a knock at your door. A wealthy uncle you barely knew has passed and left you a fortune. It’s more than enough to live out your days in glorious splendor, but there is a condition. To be eligible to collect, you must commit your full-time working energies to the pursuit of an answer to a single question of your choosing for the next 12 months.
You are welcome to continue that pursuit after the year ends, for years or decades if it warrants, but you must remain fully focused on seeking the answer until the last minute of the 365th day. A minute shorter, the entire inheritance goes to your annoying and equally long lost cousin, Philly.
What is your question?”
For me, the question is primarily how to create true and lasting change for good without making the current conditions “wrong.” It might seem simple or obvious to others, but for me, I see a world where the standard response is to make demons of what is/who is in order to compel change.
I believe that when I am in a state of resistance, I am anchoring what IS into continuity. How do we take the human psyche, with its need to compartmentalize and label, and move toward transformation together, without turning people into “others?” This question is not so much about me, but about helping model this so that as a people we overcome fear and move toward greater possibilities.
