The first time I heard an old man introducing himself to the audience in a different way that we are used to, the tears rolled down my cheeks.
Why ?
He did not just introduce himself like : "my name is John White". Oh no.
He told us about the trees, the river and the mountain that are around his house.
He introduced his parents with a lot of love.
He spoke with much affection about his grandparents.
All had died long ago.
At that moment I suddenly realized that we, Europeans, are completely uprooted.
We miss a lot because we no longer have any feeling with our ancestors.
We have lost our roots.
If you do not know where you are coming from, you can not know where you are going.
This insight touched me to the depths of my soul.
Hence those tears of emotion.
At that moment I decided to pay attention to my ancestors, whether I had known them in person or not.
I immersed myself in this matter.
I could not foresee what it would bring me!
It became a very beautiful, surprising, inner journey.
I can tell you one thing, and that is the following
when you have your ancestors behind you,
you get extra strength,
extra self-confidence,
and new paths open up for you!
What about you?
√ Do you have a lot of grief or do you feel so angry?
√ Do you stick in an unhealthy pattern?
√ Do you want to find a new balance within your family?
√ Do you want to be able to enjoy your life again?
