What keeps you in the kind of work you're in?
What would prefer to do instead?
What do you wish you had done with your life?
How close can you come to that
in the time left for living?
What would be your ideal life?
How close can you come to that
in the time left for living?
When you think of yourself,
what image comes to mind?
What do you not have enough of
in your life?
If you were to hand me an object
or an image
that would adequately symbolize
your life to this point,
what would it be?
What do you wish you had known earlier?
What needs redemption or atonement about your life?
In what ways are you living to do that?
What needs you to do it right now in your life?
Who do you have to talk with about these things?
What is keeping you from writing about them
if you have no one to talk to
who is interested in what you have to say?
