<p dir="ltr">I find myself going deeper inside this invitation to questions. A lifetime's worth of questions into and beyond 2016.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For example if the question is a question I am asking myself, guided by this conversation, I want to notice now how often do I ask myself this question when a question arises inside me? Which questions do I frequently ask myself? How can I invite new questions about myself for myself and with others? That open new space, new possibilities? In the moment?</p>
<p dir="ltr">In my questions to others, what is my intention? Is my question an invitation to another? To explore together, to create, to discover, to be curious, to engage? Or is it intended to convey a message or position?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Will my question be understood? Welcomed? Is it best to speak or stay silent feeling that the question needs no words, just time?</p>
<p dir="ltr">As it relates to others asking me a question, what gets ignited inside me? Joy, fear, excitement, curiosity, love, trust, appreciation, sadness, fear, hope, desire, etc?</p>
<p dir="ltr">And finally, how can I achieve nothing inside me from which to ask questions?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thank you Harold for this invitation to questions. A gift.</p>

<div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 8, 2016 2:30 AM, "Jon Harvey (Jon Harvey Associates Ltd) via OSList" <<a href="mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org">oslist@lists.openspacetech.org</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Happy new year everyone!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Two things:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Firstly a shameless plug for my book which is being published at the end of February. It is called "Cracking Questions"... hence linked to this thread. You can read more about the ~why~ of the book here... <a href="http://jonharveyassociates.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/the-story-behind-cracking-questions.html" target="_blank">http://jonharveyassociates.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/the-story-behind-cracking-questions.html</a></p>
<p dir="ltr">The questions are "cracking" because a) designed to crack open improvement & creativity, b) they are designed to wean organisations off the 'crack cocaine' dependency on large scale consultancy firm driven change and c) they are just 'spiffing' questions to pose! </p>
<p dir="ltr">And secondly my word for 2016 is 'dance' because dancing is a healthy antidote to cynicism & hate & fear. So my question is "How can you dance more this year?" </p>
