Where the question led

An earlier photograph was posted with the question "How did you spend your youth?" That prompt reached a friend, a lawyer with teenage children, who used it to start a conversation with them about what they wanted to do with their own time and what would make it meaningful.

Small prompts can lead to conversations that matter more than the prompt itself.
