Ancestral money poem drop
Another poem I wrote as part of the ancestral healing book I'm writing.
This poem is about Ancestral Money as I work on that section of my manuscript. I want to share this with you here. I’m making a lot of progress on my first draft and am at over 60,000 words. I wanted to allow some wisdom to flow through my hands to document and hopefully awaken something within you.
Ancestral Money

(written on April 27, 2026)
Ancestral money stories overheard
Argue over money pattern
Repeat
Funds withheld
Wants denied
Needs unmet
Ancestral money stories in your bank account
Empty
Overflow
In flux
Refillable
Ancestral money shame for borrowing
Blame others for lack
Fail to see abundance
Your money as ancestors’ memory
Visible
Irrefutable
Profession-based
Homestead
Bank account
Friend circle
Network
In circles that excluded your ancestors
Blame yourself
Blame them
Make them someone
To scapegoat when their expectations are exceeded
By you
Embody hopes and dreams of ancestors
Money flows
No more repeating ancestral patterns
Break the pattern
Break the lack
Break fear holding you back
Be whispered about
Followed in halls
Brought to the front
Asked for advice
Respected
Emulated
First in line
The line starts over
Expectations dropped
New set of stories
Passed to one
Passed to all
Passed in expansion
Prosperity backfills
