At Christmas,
when families gather
there is laughter and longing
as stories are unwound about
ancestors
school days
children
grandchildren
future, ideas, plans, beliefs
until we go separate ways at eventide
“…the knowledge of one generation could be handed on to the next,
so that each age could profit from those that had gone before.”
~ Arthur Charles Clarke, 2001: A Space Odyssey
