This, Perdita, feels like the radical heartwood of what you offer. The thing that distinguishes your teaching about the dead from everyone else out there. Instead of a burden, it's a joy. Instead of obligation + duty, it's a chance to be mothered + nourished.

What a fabulously freeing article about the so-called "weight" of our ancestors! I never got it why I needed to heal them, anyway. I agree that I have a long string of miscreants in my lineage as well as interesting and fabulous ancestors. I'm not there yet in asking for help from those who directly hurt me, but I believe I'm getting there.
