One of the most fundamental ways we can approach our lives is through inquiry. In my experience, the thing that usually gets me into trouble is when I am certain I know something.  Learning to inquire about it instead of carrying around my preconceived notions not only keeps my ego in check but makes life more interesting.  I have always been interested in learning. Remembering I can learn from everyone and everything, not just what I presume will present themselves as learning opportunities, is where I feel my heart leads me.  My mind is about certainty or the illusion of certainty and safety that comes from knowing.  Inquiry allows me to live in the space of my heart that trusts whatever I learn will not change the fundamental truth of who I am. It may alter the expression of who I am being, but nothing can undo what God has created.  Through inquiry motivated by my heart the lens through which I approach myself and my life is open and gentle. My mind tends toward the lens of fear of what may come about from inquiry.  A true practice of inquiry of the heart lies in inquiring about the fear of the mind and what is behind it.
