Greetings Eric,

I appreciate the depth you've given to your engagement with the article. You're spot-on about the potential power of questions; they're like Zen koans that blow apart the conceptual framework we usually operate within. Questions can be fireworks, exploding the mundane into a brief but glorious spectacle of What-Is.

But hey, I get it—words are double-edged swords. They guide, but they also misguide. They describe but also distort. Like you, I find questions a potent way to transcend this "world of words." I've found the eloquence in the echo of a question can often surpass the directness of an answer. It's where the mind stops chattering, and the essence reveals itself. It's the spot where the rubber meets the road, or better yet, where the illusion meets reality. Or doesn't.

- Save the article, sure.

- Refer back to it, absolutely.

- But let the questions do their work too.

Questions are your lifeboat and your compass in this boundless ocean of existence. They might not get you to the "other shore," because—spoiler alert—there isn't one. But they'll certainly make the voyage more interesting.

Wishing you a journey filled with potent questions and the peace that comes from letting them unravel you.

Best regards,

Thomas A. Vik
