Thank you for this and for the notes and photos you shared about your parents’ elopement. (I don’t think I commented on it due to Life. . .). I also appreciate the invitation to step compassionately into others’ shoes, which is so important. We and all those we interact with will be better off if we expand our willingness to understand what’s going on in others’ lives.
That's it, Gina. "We and all those we interact with will be better off if we expand our willingness to understand what's going on in others' lives." The whole post summarized so beautifully in a sentence. When we also extend that willingness to our ancestors, we expand our capacity for generational understanding, even if they are no longer on this side of the veil.
I really appreciate the invitation to extend our compassionate curiosity to our ancestors, both the ones we know and those we never met. I will be thinking about how I can best do that and with whom.
