Day ~ 23 I’ve been mulling around with notions of what it means to pass on.
What am I passing on to my children, the next generation of thinkers, believers changers? Is it good? Will there be more to their humanity than a bank account with numbers?
So I pause to challenge my unconscious self beliefs and how I sustain them and unwittingly speak them as I drive, where I shop, what I eat. For if I am learning one thing for sure the family of origin is the foundation blocks of all people. Like it or not the responsibility on parents and grandparents is influential.
Then I came across some poetry this morning that says more than I can. My favorite line is that “inheritance is accidental.”
I don’t want that to be the only truth.
Thank you Lily Myers.

Wow Wanda! “Inheritance is accidental”? How true… take a moment and reflect on that… without even realizing we are “Leaving ourselves all around.” A great post I truly enjoyed 🙂 Thank you!

I have to admit I just had this aha moment myself after hearing the poem. A great challenge!
