I mean, this is something that I've felt that fear too. And so it really resonated with me. And this was when, yeah, yeah. I think so many of us, and this was when he started to take action, to live out one of his questions and to see what he could learn from that. And the question was, what would happen if I didn't work all the time? And so eventually
He found other new questions that he wanted to ask and live like, how can I help others? But I bring up his story because I think his journey really illustrates a big part of what it can look like to have a questions practice. And it's a journey again, not to understand necessarily what are the answers, but to clarify things like what are the questions that are behind the anxiety that I feel?

Am I asking the questions that I want to ask? And if I am, What do I already know? How can I find out? Or what might be other or different questions that I want to be guiding my life?

I love that question. And one of the big things that I found in my book and in my work is that one of the most fundamental things that we need to be able to sit with our questions to commune with uncertainty is community. And so I do write extensively about lots of different types of communities that can help us exist in uncertainty and have that be sustainable for longer.

And I think one of the things to keep in mind there is that community was really, when we think about what community did for us when we were very early on in human evolution, community was there to help us feel more secure and more stable. And actually people have found that community Being in community reduces the kind of cortisol that we have, makes us feel like we are more stable and secure.

I think what I found too in my work was not only do we need community to be able to sit with an existing questions, but also that questions can connect us to entire communities. And with Miguel and with so many others, he found a lot of comfort connecting with other undocumented immigrants who had faced similar questions in their life, similar experiences of uncertainty.

And it really wasn't about getting answers from those communities. It was about accompanying each other through that uncertainty and kind of witnessing the experience that we have. And that was something that I found that questions could be this portal to belonging and to feeling like you, again, don't necessarily need to
