Analysis of Inquiry
Christopher David Mears 1982 (Indianapolis)
What is the consequence of being remarkable?
Does awareness of causation lead to cessation?
How can poison taste so pretty and medicine so bitter?
Why am I alone in this city?
Who is narrating this underrated biography?
Does this experience need a reason, objective, mission or cause?
When does one's reflection show no flaws?
Can fruition be canned for use during the lean times?
Why is the journey poignant and the destination unclear?
Can I really fake it I indefinitely?
Without an ego to present, who do I really represent?
If I could define for what I am envious of, could I figure out what I really want?
Can global warming hurry up and warm my heart?
Why is the path luminous, streetlights non-functioning and detours emblazoned neon?
When is synchronicity on time and perdition tardy?
Just how long is the road to redemption?
