MOMMY is now an ANCESTOR

“Illumination from without leaves a darkness within. From within light, and the other fine substances of illumination enlightenment assembles into forms of expression easily. What we mean, what we mean in the world, who we are in the world, what philosophies and concepts we subscribe to, and what endeavors we undertake pass by and through the filters of the soul into the story of our lives, and how we love, and the way we make people feel about themselves, and understand about the Creator. 

We can refine our minds, our souls, and re-shape our Being into any number of personalities or states of being, but a life defined by love shapes other people's lives. It is a holy way of life. It is a profound truth. It is a song, a song worth living, and later telling stories about down through the generations.

Our mother’s counsel became the examples of our lives. 80 years of life, a long marriage, and years of kinship with many people cannot be condensed into two hours, but touching those whose lives were touched by hers can easily touch the essence of her life from either side of the veil.” – Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4.11.13
