I read somewhere that the quality of your life can be measured by the questions you ask.  Walking a spiritual path is about being at peace with the questions of life.  I used to think it was about having the answers.  I always looked to others for the answers.  I would even demand the answers from God.  I would get frustrated when I did not know the answer.  I would give myself a hard time for not having the answer when I thought I should or someone else thought I should.  The blessing of questions is they keep the door open.  There is an allowance for mystery in the time of the questions.  The realm of possibilities is endless in the space of the questions.  There is an illusion of completion when we receive an answer, and yet the answer may lead to more questions.  Given there is so much one cannot know, I can find peace in the questions because it reminds me I am still alive.  If I am asking them, I am still in the game.  I come to God on our date with lots of questions and find she is open to hearing them all.  He does not always give me an answer right away or in the form I expect it and sometimes the answer comes in the form of another question.  Most of all questions lead to a need to listen and when I am listening to life and to God I can pick up on some of the clues of love.
