\nHow can we learn to love questions themselves as much as the answers we seek? And can we learn to be the ones who sincerely welcome the questions of others, so that they have room to breathe and grow? Because it may well be that often, in the midst of the complexity of life, it\u2019s the very bringing of our sincere questions to one another in which the seeds of the responses we need can begin to grow.

\n
\nby Denise Levertov
\n
\nJust when you seem to yourself\xa0
\nnothing but a flimsy web\xa0
\nof questions, you are given\xa0
\nthe questions of others to hold\xa0
\nin the emptiness of your hands,\xa0
\nsongbird eggs that can still hatch\xa0
\nif you keep them warm,\xa0
\nbutterflies opening and closing themselves\xa0
\nin your cupped palms, trusting you not to injure\xa0
\ntheir scintillant fur, their dust.\xa0
\nYou are given the questions of others\xa0
\nas if they were answers\xa0
\nto all you ask. Yes, perhaps\xa0
\nthis gift is your answer.
