A Stroke of Genius

By James Thornton a.k.a. "Stroke of Genius" 

You know having this stroke has been interesting. Being mute to being able to speak has been interesting. Asking people questions to remember things they tell me has been interesting.

When you have a stroke you lose part of your memory in some cases. For me this happen. I regained my voice yet still needed to ask questions to people. Now it's a characteristic of my being. My friend Alison who suffered a stroke is the same way. We ask questions to get clarity, for information and to engage the person thoughtfully. So why doesn't everybody ask questions first of each other. It would eliminate a lot of confusion. More importantly it would give us answers from the "horses mouth".

I know for sure it will give us a better understanding of each other. We assume and speculate so much in this world. Why... Maybe you too need a "Stroke of Genius".
