ABOUT JUSTICE
Elisheva Nesis, paper/pastel, ink, pencils, 29.5 x 41
articulate the important questions,
take them in as
guides,
converse with them as
colleagues,
play with them as
children,
look through them as windows on
our future world
question everything
accept or reject with clear
awareness
and flexibility
the dangerous
questions
are constantly being asked by real
life circumstances.
We who hear feel compulsion to
answer disturbingly.
a world of inconsistencies to
ponder
questioning is the
key
It’s that question we need to
explore,
experiments that intrigue
us,
that essential project calling for
our attentive exercise,
work to improve our lives that
feels real,
that gives us shining dreams,
appreciation
for who we can be
We devised a game as drugless
school chums,
dubbed “The Question
Game”.
Each in turn would ask a question
of a philosophical
nature – perhaps a question with
which the questioner
had privately wrestled, or
not.
Then we all played the question,
speaking our random
associations or tangent questions
or answers or
hypothetical tests or suggested
scenarios
or whatever we
fancied.
Once we had nothing urgently to
say, the question
had been played, the next person
got their turn
as questioner.
If any of the group did not get
their turn they would be
the starters for our next
session.
We came to know each other very
well – how each thought
and expressed, and
believed.
We each learned about ourselves –
what questions
spoke to us, what they
said.
And the wide expanse of
answerings.
