Footprints in the Windsm # 1270–immortality, family style

Footprints in the Windsm # 1270

This is immortality, family style: To start a relation that can never end. When we meet grandchild or grandparent and see into and with their being, when we see the future and the past as one thread—our thread, when we meet another and demonstrate how they may meet in their turn, we have started such a relation. When we share this breath, as insubstantial as it is, we have twisted another strand into the immortal thread of family. This thread neither belongs to us nor can it exist without us.
