I facilitated a very soulful circle last night talking about Intergenerational Power and Authenticity for The Happy Startup School and it inspired me to write this poem. Sharing it here for those who I think would mostly resonate:
Our lives are entwined
With the shadows of the past
The hope of the future
The emergence of the now
Our beings are connected
To the granules of the earth
To each root and each vein
To the cosmos and the stars
Our hearts sync
In beating with our nerves
In each breathe
In each stride
In each stare
And the connection
goes on
Amidst time
and space
For that which we inherited
Through our lineage
Through our elders
Reside in what we take
In what we keep
In what we stay alive
And the connection goes on
beyond our bodies
beyond mortality
To our partners
To our kids
To our friends
To those whose lives we serve
Forward to generations ahead of us
As every thought
And every choice
And every parts of our being
That we share
Are parts of the vastness
That resides in each one of us
Leaving imprints
Leaving memories
Leaving legacies
Of the lives we lived
Of the causes that stirred us into action
Of the people that filled our hearts
Of the lives we touched with our presence
