receiving that question

Submitted by alesnick on Fri, 07/01/2011 - 9:58pm.

When Paul would ask, "What do you know?" my mind and heart would be happy and amazed. (I'm smiling as I write this, remembering the feeling.) I felt graced by sudden, freely given authority and the invitation to use it, share it, make something with it. Going around so often feeling I didn't know, wasn't sure . . .this question, from a person whose knowledge and learning were so deep and wide, was so encouraging, and such fun. Paul would also ask, "What are you thinking about?" And he would say, "Keep talking." And we did, and we do, and we will.
