To acknowledge our ancestors means we are aware that we did not make ourselves, that the line stretches all the way back, perhaps to God; or to Gods. We remember them because it is an easy thing to forget: that we are not the first to suffer, rebel, fight, love and die. The grace with which we embrace life, in spite of the pain, the sorrow, is always a measure of what has gone before.

As an African Folk story says when we continue to call their name our ancestors stay with us find their way to us. If we forget to call their name they are lost to us.

Ancestor Reverence is central to our history, survival & prosperity. We must NEVER allow them to grow silent.
