I'm a little unclear on this tweet. Are you saying an answer can be found, by just a brave few? Or even those brave few still come up short?

4/ The only guarantee is to remain on the shore with the unanswered question & not join the dance. Most will choose this; it is safer.

5/ The answer is embedded in the question; it's a lived phenomenon. As long as one is living the questions one is,in fact,living the answer.
