(8,352 posts)Yes, I agree.
Even before my father's latest health set-backs, I have felt that pull to connect with my father's deep familial roots. It led me to explore La Regla Ocha and Palo Mayombe more intimately even though I am hardly a 'believer'.
But it is about a tradition passed on from generation to generation full of stories, songs, moral teachings, mystery, and life & death.
I am of the age that I know the time of both of my parent's passing is nigh. I can say I am making peace before it comes, and yet, I know I won't truly until I am grieving in my own way the end of one and the beginning of something else.
I still owe you a PM, so please forgive my tardiness. I have been frightfully busy and distracted. And I look forward to our next conversation as we do share much in common.
Thank you.
