Music: Jonas Dobson
Readings / Teaching: Kent Dobson
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
— Albert Einstein
The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life.
— Confucius
You force people to stop asking questions, and before you know it they have auctioned off the question mark, or sold it for scrap. No boldness. No good ideas for fixing what’s broken in the land. Because if you happen to mention it’s broken, you are automatically disqualified.
— Barbara Kingsolver
Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
There was a time you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And I remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
— Leonard Cohen
