SPLINTERS FOR SEPTEMBER 2022

  1. September is Hispanic Heritage Month. What does this mean for you?
    • Does it conjure up town or actor names of Hispanic origins? Or, days of Spanish classes in school, a friend born in Mexico or Chile or another once Spanish territory? Tell us about your memories, feelings.
    • Perhaps what you think of is music, visual art or architecture reflecting Hispanic culture. Do these evoke emotions and/or images which you can share in writing?
  2. Age is a recurring theme in the list of special days in September: Attend Your Grandchild’s Birth Day, Grandma Moses Day, Father’s Day, Grandparent’s Day and Centenarian’s Day. If you were your grandparent, what message or gift would you give to your newborn self (or to your real or imagined grandchild)?
  3. Ecology also is of concern in September with days commemorating clean air, (US) federal lands and (US) international coastal clean-up, and preservation of the ozone layer. What would you say in a letter to the planet Earth? If the planet could speak, what do you think it would say to us?
  4. Hobbies also receive special attention this month with days highlighting dance, reading a book, video games, comic books, Play-Doh, boys’ and girls’ club for kids, hunting and fishing. What is your hobby and why did you choose it?
