As varied as the humans asking them, questions arise from human experiences , with all their ambiguities, we reflect on our lives, and questions and doubts emerge. Some questions are verbal, others percolate just below the surface, others we find difficult to fully articulate, this is part of being human. We do not need to feel guilty about being asking questions, God can handle it. Abraham Herschel wrote “We are closer to God when we are asking questions than when we think we have all the answers.” Questions that go to the heart of the matter are meant to be lived more than answered definitely, once and for all. Rainer Maria Rikle wrote “to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves. LIVE THE QUESTION. Perhaps then, someday far into the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”
