We stand upon the legacy of the generations that came before us. And we
in turn are building the future, while we create our lives.
We
spin a delicate tapestry everyday. Little by little we are carving out
the future, forging new bonds upon the foundation we have inherited.
Our
collective ancestors, not just our family by blood, but all the people
that help build our communities are responsible for creating our lives
today. They contributed to our liberties as well as our problems.
And
like ripples in a puddle, these deeds, whether good or bad, get bigger
& wider. We are the water, cresting with each wave as it rises and
falls. We are the past, present and future. We are responsible.

Hello Elizabeth:
These are words which give one much food for thought. At times we do wonder what kind of a future we are building for those who will come after us.
Responsibility, yes. A concept not very widely understood, I'm afraid.
Lovely post.

I have been thinking about community lately. I appreciate your insight that they contribute to our liberties as well as our problems. I want to be a better member of my communities. Thank you for the lovely photo. Was it taken on your honeymoon?
The Great Law of the Iroquois: To think seven generations ahead. Sounds like something that should be considered these days.
