Slices of An Unschooling Life Theme Reveal Post
Today’s Poetry Type:
Wrapped Refrain
Who, what, and when these questions are….
Who, what, and when, where, how, and why?
Ask these questions; reach for the sky.
For the inquisitive mind
ever ready to seek and find
among life’s many riddles answers well hidden
the knowledge of where, how, and why; who, what, and when?
Or perhaps we will never know
And wonder will expand and grow
Igniting imagination
A brilliant new conflagration
Will we end another day searching, confounded still?
Failing to grasp heart’s desire – or perhaps we will.
These questions are a beginning
To make the workings of mind sing
The answers matter so much less
Than willingness to take a guess
Follow intuition, reach for the furthest star.
Impetus becoming more than these questions are.

So often, it all begins with a question. Questions open the mind to possibilities, to wonder, to potential avenues to learning something new.
Questions ignite the mind and the imagination. Questions give us a path to engagement and conversation. The “what ifs” of life are in the questions. Innovations begin with asking if there’s a better way, or a new way, to do something.
-
Can we get there from here?
-
How long will it take?
-
Where will we stay?
-
What will we do when we get there?
-
Why should we go?
-
Whom should we go with?
Questions can be simple:
-
Can I have a hug?
-
Would you like to come with me?
-
Want to watch this video I found?
-
Have you heard about….?

Questions can be complex:
-
Why did our brother die as a baby?
-
Do you think there’s a heaven?
-
Is world peace possible?
Some are just silly:
-
Are you an armadillo?
-
Can I eat your arm?
