Wednesdays are for Wondering . . . Moon Time

In freshman year of high school, my religion teacher Mary Harrigan told us we were going to spend the first half of the class year “wondering.” Huh? I thought we were supposed to be “learning” and wasn’t sure what this was going to be like. But her class was a gift. She taught us to really look at the world, to ask questions, to wonder about everything. And I have been wondering for the past 40+ years since then.

On Wednesdays I will share questions. I hope that they stimulate some conversation online and in real life. Let us all wonder.

Today is the53rd anniversary of the first moon landing. I was only four years old, but I remember my father sat me on his lap in front of the black and white TV set and told me something important was happening. Together we watched Neil Armstrong taking that first step onto lunar soil. To me the moon has always felt like adventure, bravery, and learning.

So I am wondering, what are your feelings, your memories, your stories about the moon?
