I met today with a wonderful person I’m happily to be kin to: we talked genealogy and story that we share in common,she has been working on this project for years now. I’m amazed every time we review our roots and heritage, I lean more than I could ever imagine.
The more we look the more we are all the same-to me this is grace and a place of rest in the generations-and yea, I get it- there is painful crap too.
The garden below is sandy loan not far from where our great grandparents farmed. We have the same soil as they had, and after today I’m ok with returning to it.
Moral of story-talk to someone your kin to and sit: if you can find some dirt that reminds you of your childhood-for God sake take your shoes off and see what is.
