Jeweled Breadcrumb #25 : question is better than answer
questions
better than answers
open the way of being
something more
frozen answer
like a sentence
carved in stone extinction
to insure
crystal question
paves way for wonder
new country of creation
to endorse
cocksure and certain
massacres mystery
sacrifices inquiry
ends vital course
beyond reason
question bears freedom
for unexpected treasure
to unroll
questions
better than answers
release rosy songbird
from cage hold
though in prison
she lacks nothing
thirsting songbird
rides ripe question
of untold
Breadcrumb
When I think I have all the answers, I forget I may be wrong and inadvertently nail myself to a stubborn tree. So I try to remember, questions are better than answers. They foster life-giving curiosity.
Thank you for reading these words,
written by grace and the grit of a real human being. Debra Asis

The assignment that brings me to the writing of these words is to unapologetically tell the story of how God nudges, cajoles, drop kicks and masters me to be the real human being that I am … becoming … following God’s Jeweled Breadcrumbs. My daily writing challenge for 2025 is to share the Breadcrumbs with you.
