Today, my friend, the Big Dipper was out to greet me. The early morning sky was still luminescent with it's array of night watchers. Last year I dedicated a post to my friends called "Hanging out with my Ancestors: The Real Stars ". I learned a lot about my friend, The Big Dipper for that post.
As I was soaking in the hot tub an connecting with the stars, I had a thought in my head. I would like to ask my mother some questions. I thought of my family that is no longer alive and the thing I wish I could have done more was ask them questions. I wish I could have discovered more about them. What were their favourite things? What inspired them? What were their challenges? I realized that I still have that opportunity to do that with my Mom. I thought of some possible questions. Mostly light hearted, nothing too heavy and definitely nothing that can produce "Jesus" as the only answer. Maybe that one will require more thought. "Jesus" is the answer for a lot of things in my Mom's life. I just think it is too easy and too vague. So maybe when I ask her what her favourite flower is, she will come up with a flower and not "Jesus". Then I felt somewhat guilty for not including the most important thing she has in her life... so maybe there will be a bonus question. But it will require more than just one word.
So my mother inspired me today. I think today is a good day to go on the hunt for some questions.
