"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
“What is your big, juicy, audacious dream for 2010?”
“The quality of our lives depend on the quality of the questions we ask.”

Friday's Purposeful Question
"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 seeds toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea." ~ Henry David Thoreau
One of the social sites I love to play at is Gaia. The Gaia Community is a space to share and focus energy on what inspires rather than on what is feared, manifesting a world of kindness and heart-centeredness. In the Gaia community, I am known as the Mystic Empath ~ come by and say hey!
Anywho, one of my daily spiritual practices is logging onto Gaia each morning and answering the daily question and reflection. Fellow Gaian Siona, Director of the Gaian Community creates these thoughtful questions each day...
"Think of Gaia's Questions and Reflections as an invitation and guide into your highest self. Every day, we offer an inquiry designed to push you to think deeply about those things that matter most. We'll encourage you to continue to discover and follow your calling, to explore and connect with yourself, to envision and attain your goals, and to craft, passionately, your own extraordinary and unique life."
I will ask yesterday's question here as our Purposeful Question of the Week. I pose this question because my response brought a comment from Lady Siona herself...
This answer made me melt. Thank you. :)

"Energy is equal to desire and purpose." ~ Sheryl Adams
What people, events or things drain your energy? What part of you is not going with the flow? What are you resisting?
Plug your energy leaks and experience what it feels like to work on all cylinders.

Purposeful Question for Reflection
"What do you really want?"
How many times in our lives do we stop and ask ourselves this question? Well, hit the pause button, sit, and be still while you ponder and reflect. Then journal. If the answer comes as a surprise, don't let it go, follow up with another question. Then take a breath and sit with the question.
Let me know what comes up for you.
Peace,
Coach Carolyn
