Many stories in these words! Why no people’s names? I’m also curious about where you’d put them in a time line since these are your ancestors. How do you see them living in you? I can imagine a whole book! I can imagine each of them in their own complex manifestation which has a direct relationship to you…… Please send me an eamail telling me more…. 10/10
