I believe deliverance begins with questions. It begins with people who love questions, people who live with questions and by questions, people who feel a deep joy when good questions are asked.
When we meet these people–some living through history and art–things begin to change. Something is let loose. When we’re exposed to the liveliness of holding everything up to the light of good questions–what I call “sacred questioning”–we discover that redemption is creeping into the way we think, believe, and see the world.
This re-deeming (re-valuing) of what we’ve made of our lives, a redemption that perhaps begins with the insertion of a question mark beside whatever feels final and absolute and beyond questioning, gives our souls a bit of elbow room, a space in which to breathe and imagine again, as if for the first time.
