Questions are central
Questions are central: for one they challenge us to engage outside our skins. Two, they challenge us to do so together.

Ask for bigger eyes
It is difficult in family long term care settings to see any larger truth, let alone make sense of it. What to do when we are blind?
Maybe we can ask of one another:
What else do you notice?
What is possible now?
Tell me if I have heard you right….
Tell me a story about why this is important….
Have there been times when you saw things differently, saw hope?
What do we believe is true in this situation?
What are our assumptions?
Essentially: 1. call a time out and 2. ask for bigger eyes.
