Cadre Today: Questions Are Gold

I let time go lightly When I'm here with you I let time go lightly when the day is through I keep a watch on time When I've got work to do But I let time go lightly with you Good morning, Cadre. I let time go lightly Harry Chapin. That was the 1975 CD live version. It's a song that I don't think anybody knows, but I let time go lightly Harry Chapin, he's the. He's the Cats in the Cradle guy. But I let time go lightly When I'm with you I think that's a beautiful. A beautiful little welcome into the morning.

Good morning, Andy. Mac, Jules, Maffy. Hey, Emily. Speak, Wonder. Love it, love it, love it. Jefferson is. Hey, Jeffy. Jefferson, come here. Jefferson's being bashful. Hamilton is fighting the chess match of life. But Hamilton is still alive and kicking, y'. All. And Willow, baby girl, she's got some itchy allergies. So it amazing how easy it is to get used to the flow of things before something kind of slows down. Oh, my gosh. So, Marisa, Andy Mack just said hi from Andy and Buddy. Buddy is another Jack Russell in this world.

If you haven't seen Andy's picture of Buddy on the. I think it was on the bike. Andy, throw that up in the community feed again today. Dog photos always make the feed better. How are we doing, everybody? I hope you're great, but if you're not, here's that squeaky door reminder that it's okay, too. Even if you're not doing okay, too. I'm glad that I'm here. I'm glad that you're here. I know what I know, and I care about you. What a beautiful reminder. And I'm the one who has to listen to my own voice say it every day.

But to know that there are people who feel that and live that alongside you, for you, with you, is pretty cool. You know, on Tuesdays, we talk a lot about exactly what we've just been talking about. How we do this world together. And quite so often, we get very good at doing the world with the people we do the world with. Does that make sense? The people we spend time with are the people we care about, the people that we have shared interests with. But then all of a sudden, we get this crazy idea that we're going to grow the thing we care about.

We're going to bring other people in, and that's hard. And why is it hard? Because we get really good at telling people how they're supposed to Experience the thing that we love experiencing. Oh, humans. So I often talk about this idea of the outward facing click. The headline is the longer that you're part of something, the less it is about you and the more it is about the people who have yet to find it, yet to be a part of it. And I know that that boils some pots and, and frustrates a lot of people because.

Jc, are you saying that I'm not as important as I used to be within this thing that I've been a part of forever and I've given my life, blood and sweat to? And I say, you bet. And here's why you become less important in that thing. Because the thing you care most about is sharing that thing with others. And to share something, you have to let it fly. So every Tuesday I try to offer another little piece of evidence as to why it's really important to outward facing those cliques that you are a part of.

Today I'd love to talk about questions, questions, questions, questions. Preguntas who asks the best questions? Now I'm thinking of this as if we're sitting on the steps of the Parthenon, you know, in ancient Greece. I think that was in Greece. I know, maybe it was in Albuquerque, who cares? But I'm asking the question who asks the best questions within that philosophical way? And I'd like to pose this as an answer. The people who ask the best questions are the people who have the least amount of information.

Now you can make the case that the people ask the best questions are the ones who have the most information because they can get into the finite and the tweaky questions. And I go, yeah, but I've already proven today that humans are pretty good at not always being great at everything, right? In theory, it would be great if we were progressive beings. It'd be great if the more information we had, we could consider all the, all the big things and all the little things, all the fresh perspectives and the established perspectives.

But in reality, humans kind of focus on the thing that they focus on. So if the thing that you're focusing on is this finite perspective, this very unique experience that you have, that's what you're not focusing on. All the different potential perspectives and experiences that other people could be having, but that first timer, that outsider, that beginner, because they don't have any information, they don't have any perspective, they don't have any experience. The things that are going to be coming out of their heads and minds are going to be responses to what they're experiencing.

And they give you eyes, they give you ears, they give you hearts, they give you bodies with bruises and scrapes and hugs and love and hate and all of those things. They are the ones who will ask the best questions. Here ends the story. Let that float around in your mind today. If you want. If you're hungry for a really good question, like if you want to birth a really good question in your belly, walk into a community that you know nothing about, pick up a book on a subject you know nothing about, and then squeeze out a question.

I promise you it will have the most ripe, sweet juice you've ever tasted in your entire life. All that question juice. Y' all have a great Tuesday. I'll be back tomorrow. But in the meantime, play the first 29 seconds of I Let Time Go Lightly one more time because it's a great homage to what we do right here. Listen to these words. Hey. I let time go lightly When I'm here with you? I let time go lightly when the day is through But I keep a watch on time When I've got work to do But I let time go lightly with you we do.

Y'. All, thanks for this light.
