A Good Question
Asked and Answered
After reading all 18 of my posts, a subscriber asked—“What is it you want of us, Susan?”

The question was a tad accusatory to my ear. It seemed to imply I had a responsibility for doing someone else’s thinking. Or, worse, solving the immediate problems of the world we share.
I had to wrestle with myself to understand my true answer to that good question. Here it is—I want you to keep challenging me.
I am not writing this blog in search of a group hug in my value silo. I am not soliciting a sing-along in my echo chamber. I am hoping to form a healthy forum of sane and experienced lives and minds. One which will consider our times in informed seriousness, well-salted with clever humor.
I think this is worth exploring as a first Group Topic— “In these challenging times, what is it you want of yourself, for your family, friends, acquaintances, and country, dear reader?”
Let’s chat.
What any writer wants is to get questions from subscribers that other subscribers will also find interesting. What writers do is write. The topics for the next article come from the questions of the readers. So, what every writer wants is your questions. Each question has two parts. Part one--what is your question? Part two--who do you think is the best source to answer such a question? One of my mentors, who was world famous and based in New York City would encourage the next question from me and then say, softly, "What a good question. Now, to whom shall we take that question?"
