"Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life."
~ Albert Einstein ~
In this modern era, it's easy to be flip about our families and to take them for granted. And yet, there is something powerful and primal about our blood relations, something that can't be duplicated, and something in our genetic connection that deserves our reverence and respect.
We cop resentments and hold grudges. Some of us go for years without speaking to our parents, or our siblings, or our cousins. But we miss something that we need if we do this, and a way of belonging in the world.
If our families are feuding, let's be the ones who bring peace to them. Let's be the ones who bring acceptance, and endless, unconditional love.
I appreciate my family and encourage connection any and every chance I get.
