Respect for the ancestors*

In many cultures around Halloween, we pay respect to the deceased, our ancestors.

We grow out of and respond to their lives.  Some things we carry on, some we change.

We grow in response to their struggles and attempts to lead their lives as best they could given their circumstances, personalities, resources, fortitude and courage, and resilience.

Doesn’t this sound all too familiar?

It should.

This is what we all must do!

 

*So much of yoga is about alignment, respect, love, acceptance, and compassion.  It is from this that this post is born.
