. . . An answer is an invitation to stop thinking
about something, to stop wondering. Life has no
such stopping places. . . [E]very event is connected
to the moment that just went by. An unanswered
question is a fine traveling companion.
It sharpens your eye for the road. . . .

Thank you, Maureen for this quote. It so perfectly and beautifully reveals my state of mind. I'm in the throes of making a decision, meditating upon it, and allowing the dilemma to accompany me with my eye sharpened for the road.
Not true.
An answer is a door to another question.
What colour of door?
blue.
Is that the colour that you would like for a front door?
And so on...
Your quotes are so thought provoking.
