my family grounds me in
communication - electronic these days
memories - china, photos on walls, in albums
practices - grace at breakfast, daily readings
because I know that
from birth to death
our families - biological or not -
are the soil supporting our being.
Each cell of our body, a
development of biology.
Innate intelligence
expanded by lessons learned
informal, and formal.
Behaviours, responses so like
a close or distant relative
Is it nature or is it nurture?
Spiritual practices
beckon the soul within,
no need for the dogma of religion.
Early each morning
all of my family grounds me.
“Other things may change us, but
we start and end with the family.”
~ Anthony Brandt
