We think of the impossible and wish we could conquer it.
How did our relatives from the past affect the
next generation time and time again?
We go back so far until we realize we will never find
the beginning. We are not frustrated, but our curiosity
has taken a blow. We can go back as far as possible and
realize that our language and intuitions can be traced
accurately. There is some history we would like to dismiss
but we know this is not possible. We lumber on behaving in
similar ways without knowing that this is inevitable.
We wish to be our own person, but with few exceptions,
we are drawn back as though with a magnet and fall in line
into the path which we are bound to travel. If we escape
the pull and find success outside the fold, we are either founded
upon or praised. The frown calls for retaliation, while the praise
calls for new leadership. These, in the sum of life, can be confusing
and there is usually chaos leading to the disruption of good plans.
We must settle down and look at life from the bottom up rather
than the top down. Things become more clear and our
decisions on what to do next come to us in droves. Then it is up
to us to invite them to listen or go about their business.
This may be hurtful to some, but you cannot have it both ways,
that is the critic without fresh ideas of their own.
You realize that your obligations are to
the next generation. This, too, is not an easy assignment
but you are compelled to follow through if you want to
improve and strengthen your linage. Words from the
past are still used, but you do not hear “thunderation”
very often. It has been replaced by foul language or
cursing which is a violation of our faith. You are called
now to lead by example. This is funny because you are
the one calling for it. You look forward to finding collaborators
who will help you and eventually replace you as
you move on to do the things you are destined to do.
Keeping things light, with the Light in mind can be so comforting.
