A fundamental tool of our minds is the ability to question our reality.  Being someone who is inclined to over analyze just about everything I can get stuck in a query and find it hard to get out. I seem to be a questioner by nature and can sometimes drive myself and others crazy with all my questions. It is however, interesting when I look at the things that in my life that I do not question or times when I did not use the tool of inquiry.  When I take on the stance of exploration and learning I am in a place of opportunity to grow.  By querying the things that I do over and over again or situations I find myself in repeatedly I can look a little closer at what is going on.  Things are rarely what they seem and as far as I can tell there are patterns and concepts from which we operate that have been given to us and we blindly accept them.  It is only when we find ourselves butting up against them and in pain from them to do we stop do some querying.  God invites us to look with compassion as God does with all things, at the places and spaces in our lives where our hearts are not aligned with our heads.  We may be able to blindly follow something in our mind but our heart doesn’t buy it.  It may, but the heart seems to only get on board when it senses an alignment with the truth of who we are.  Our ego gets very attached to the known including those passed down concepts and patterns whether they be from society, family, or just repetition.  To even begin querying can feel uncomfortable and scary because our ego sees it as a threat.  This is where God’s gentle hand and kind support can allow us to open up and take a look just to see what is there.  It is the gentle voice reminding us that just because we are querying, doesn’t mean we have to change anything.
