“So las ich falsch in deinem Aug, dem tiefen?
Kein heimlich Sehnen sah ich heiß dort funkeln?
Es birgt zu deiner Seele keine Pforte
Dein feuchter Blick? Die Wünsche, die dort schliefen,
Wie stille Rosen in der Flut, der dunkeln,
Sind, wie dein Plaudern: seellos... Worte, Worte?”
― Gedichte.

“People mess up. We lie, exaggerate, betray, hurt, and abandon each other. When we hear that this has happened, it makes sense to feel anger, pain, confusion, and sadness. But to move immediately to punishment means that we stay on the surface of what has happened.
To transform the conditions of the "wrongdoing", we have to ask ourselves and each other, "Why?"
Even--especially--when we are scared of the answer.
It's easy to decide a person or group is shady, evil, psychopathic. The hard truth (hard because there's no quick fix) is that long-term injustice creates most evil behavior. The percentage of psychopaths in the world is just not high enough to justify the ease with which we assign that condition to others.
In my mediations, "why?" is often the game-changing, possibility-opening question. That's because the answers rehumanize those we feel are perpetuating against us. "Why?" often leads us to grief, abuse, trauma, mental illness, difference, socialization, childhood, scarcity, loneliness.
Also, "Why?" makes it impossible to ignore that we might be capable of a similar transgression in similar circumstances.
We don't want to see that.”

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”

“One of my goals in life is to become truly rabbinical, to be able to answer closed questions with open questions, to have the internal authority to be a good gatekeeper when intruders approach, and to at least remember to ask, “Why are you asking that?â€� This, I’ve found, is always a good answer to an unfriendly question, and closed questions tend to be unfriendly.”

“Whose life matters to you?
Who do you speak for?
Who do you defend?
How large is your vision of the world?
How much pain and destruction of others
is too much for you to stand?
We all must ask ourselves those questions right now.
Ask and ponder and ask again.
We all must ask each other these questions.
And the answers will lead us to what we must do--
individually and collectively, small and large actions--
what we must do.”

“It probably goes without saying that certainty is also the great enemy of art, and the deadly enemy of the artist.
I suspect the artists that will speak to our moment (and survive it ) best will be ones with the lowest levels of certainty, who haven’t allowed the lure of social media to turn them into certainty pimps, who recall Milan Kundera’s observation that the novelist/artist teaches us to comprehend the world as a question, not an answer. As Kundera notes, “There is wisdom and tolerance in that attitude.â€� The artists who I’m most interested in these days are the ones who struggle always to be “heard over the noisy foolishness of human certainties.”

“I consulted a trauma expert who travels to communities devastated by natural disasters. When she meets with suffering people, she often asks this question, “Where are you feeling the pain in your body?â€� She wants to know if they want to talk about their emotions or if they need to talk about what’s happening physically to them. I used this advice when I recently met with a grieving friend. I wasn’t sure what to ask her, so I sat with her, cried, and then asked, “How are you feeling the grieving in your body?â€� She loved the question. Nobody had ever asked her this, and she wanted to talk about all the trembling and nausea she was feeling.”
