Reverent Inquiry

In spite of my petty but honest day-to-day frustration with bureaucratic silliness while traveling in most developing countries, I treasure the lives of the people who ironically seem to have integrity…congruity. The way they live is understandable in relation to their history, geography economics and culture-not to be compared to any other place. Rather than judge, a friend says she tries to engage �others�� with a �reverent curiosity� to describe how she travels. I try to be more intentional-I borrow her idea and call it �reverent inquiry.� I do want to respect the dignity of those I am coming to visit without giving up my own chosen values.
