To acknowledge our ancestors means we are aware that we did not make ourselves, that the line stretches all the way back, perhaps to God; or to Gods. We remember them because it is an easy thing to forget: that we are not the first to suffer, rebel, fight, love and die. The grace with which we embrace life, in spite of the pain, the sorrow, is always a measure of what has gone before. ✨ Alice Walker (2011). Alice Walker: Collected Poems: Her Blue Body Everything We Know: Earthling Poems 1965-1990, p.87, Hachette UK
