<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I often go for a “what’s possible” question like the one in the picture below from bringing together journalists and librarians. (What’s possible for our communities and democracy when journalists and librarians work together?)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also like questions that have some dynamic tension in them, like: How can we provide energy security and environmental well being for all? <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This was a friend’s question when seeking to bring together conservatives and progressives a few years back. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">As Chris Kloth said, questions that are big enough to stretch us yet not so big that we drown in them from confusion. I think that idea came from Harrison.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Always, always questions that point towards possibilities. <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
