Word for the Day - 2020

 Query, a form of inquiry - wikipedia

A question used for reflection and spiritual exercises among members of the Society of Friends.
A word quite familiar to me, as I have been in the Quaker tradition for many years.
I realized it might not be as familiar to you and wanted to share.
Each of our meetings for worship has "queries",
questions for us to reflect on.
Here are queries from yesterdays worship:
How do I understand "being blessed" personally?...
"Being blessed" as a nation?
When I'm in the midst of persistent conflict, where do I find hope?

As you might notice I often end a blog post with a query.
I hadn't realized it was because that is what I am use to as a Quaker
or if it is just common nature to end with a thought question (query). 

Is this a word you are comfortable using?

Wasn't sure what picture would fit the word query,
but this picture just feels like reflection to me.
Have a great week, dear friends!
