Unlocking Generations: A Thousand Questions to Save Wisdom

"Time is the wisest counselor of all," Pericles once observed. Yet, in our whirlwind modern lives, we often let the sagacity of our elders slip through the cracks. Enter SaveWisdom.org, a noble endeavor offering 1,000 probing questions designed to excavate the depths of individual experience—questions that traverse early years, pivotal moments, and the labyrinth of personal values.

Inspired by this trove, I've hatched a plan as my grandmother prepares to journey from Morelia, Michoacán, for her 80th birthday. Armed with a personalized list of curiosities, I aim to sit with her, recorder in hand, and capture the mosaic of her life. As Maya Angelou aptly put it, "If you don't know where you've come from, you don't know where you're going." This isn't just a gift to my extended family; it's an act of preservation—bottling the essence of wisdom before it fades into the ether.
