Think of Gaia's Questions and Reflections as a invitation and guide into your highest self.
Every day, we offer an inquiry designed to push you to think deeply about those things that matter most. We'll encourage you to continue to discover and follow your calling, to explore and connect with yourself, to envision and attain your goals, and to craft, passionately, your own extraordinary and unique life.
If you'd like to get the QaR mailed to you each day, you can sign up here (Just mark the check box next to 'Gaia: Questions and Reflections', then click the 'update' button at the bottom.). And if you've got any suggestions for questions we should ask, please let us know.
"A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place, but a seed to be planted and to bear more seeds toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea." ~ Henry David Thoreau
What does it mean to be in relationship—be it with another person, with a community, with your home, with the planet, or anything else? What sort of connections does relationship involve?
When was the last time you interacted with a total stranger? Did someone offer you a seat? Invite you to conversation? Or when was the last time you invited someone unknown to connect?
Imagine two of your passions that don't, on the surface of things, have much in common. Think of combining them. What might arise out of this connection?
Who have you been speaking to recently? What groups, or what kinds of individuals, have you been sharing your life and values with? Do you reach out into other social or cultural groups? When was the last time you connected with someone very different than you?
What does it mean to really communicate with someone? How do you know when this has happened between you and another person? What gets in the way of your communicating with others—or vice versa?
I can't imagine I'm the only one in the community sensitive to odd coincidences... so what was the last wonderful instance of serendipity in your life? Or what was the greatest synchronicity you've had happen?
