Ali’s Questions, January 19th, 2025

RA Angotti, Chief Instructor

Each of the members of North Wind Aikikai bring something unique to our practice. However one of our youngest members comes to me with some real treasures. Ali is 8 years old which makes him the freshest amongst us on the mat for adult class. Sometimes I think we adults bore him and his mind begins to wander. For the past several months he has visited me after class to share some of his internal queries. I try to provide an answer for each of them, and often more questions come rolling in from Ali while I am answering pondering the first. But, Ali’s curiosity about the world shouldn’t just be for me. For as long as Ali comes to me with questions, I will try to share them with you.

Here are a few of Ali’s ponderings from last year.

When did human’s start speaking and what was their first word?

Who made life and how did they make it?

How did countries get made?

How did stars get made?
