Why do you answer these questions?

Why are you called to these sorts of questions (and reflections)? What do they bring to your life? Do you answer them before or after reading the responses of others?


Sometimes I've already mentally written something I'd like to share, but before posting, I check to see what the QaR is that day and sometimes it meshes. 

Sometimes I read the QaR and an answer jumps into my head and I post it right away.

Sometimes I am reading a friend's blog and see that they've answered a QaR and I comment on their answer and that leads me to more thoughts on the matter.

Sometimes I just read others' answers and don't post one myself.

Sometimes I read all the answers and then post my own. 

Sometimes I post my own answer and then read all the other answers. 

Sometimes I don't answer the question at all. 

Sometimes I read the question and go out with my camera for a walk and see if the answer will be found in a photograph.

Sometimes the question reminds me of a photograph from long ago that I think is perfect for this question.  (as in this one -- farland and sarah conversing and walking, me photographing them.)

I think I go to see the questions because I like my brain to have rich and stimulating experiences and the QaR is often part of that. 

I like to wonder / wander and the questions sometimes give me a direction to begin my wander/wondering. 

I like to converse and the answers are often the beginning of wonderful conversations.
