There are the questions, or the one question that you think of as at the core of your being, and whatever it is it is bigger and more enduring than you are. It is a question many have asked at every time and place and some have held it central and gone further than you, and other have done other things with it. So, in a sense it is not your question, rather that you belong to the question, you are a moment in its history. As such you are not central to it, you will not 'solve' it, but you serve to keep it in play, and not without distorting it as well, turning it off centre. And in as much as you are in this way an enemy of the question your work is balanced by some other enemy whose thrust is the opposite of yours. But at the same time as you are a false friend to this question you are the true embodiment of another question, one that is hidden, and more 'gnarly', as they say. This just as you can be a supporting character in one story and at the same time the hero of a different story. These stories are woven together in yet another story. And so on.
