“If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people.”  Thich Nhat Hanh

It strikes me that no matter how much we think they are part of our past, we still cling to them and summon them into our futures; be it through photographs, names, legacies or posessions....We are people of THEM that came before us.
