More Powerful Questions

February 12, 2009

Hosting friend and colleague Toke Moeller just sent these out. They represent incredible clarity that invite a deeper consciousness as we engage in partipative work. I see these as questions to really invite a shared sense of deep purpose and commitment from those who might steward an action.

Toke has them in beautiful form. Asked from the I perspective here. And from the we perspective here.

Question at the center...
Why will I serve the common good in all?

Question to the north...
What am I ready to let go of and what am I ready to contribute to be part of a healthy and thriving community?

Question to the east...
What could I also be?

Question to the south...
What have I forgotten about being a neighbour?

Question to the west...
How will I organize myself to act wisely and ethically in service of the common good?

Question to heaven...
Who do I serve?

Question to earth...
How may I be kind today?

These relate to questions we asked of a health care system, some of which I blogged here.
