Sharing a poem
from my ancestral healing manuscript
Lineage Holder

Deep within you is a calling
a yearning
an understanding that you belong
even though you might feel disconnected
disjointed
unwelcomed by your family of origin
You make small connections within your environment
wherever you can
by joining a group
making new friends
thinking bigger than your immediate circle
but the connection is superficial
The very cells in your body put forth the call
an unexplained ache
a sharp piercing pain without explanation
a random thought about a person or place
from lifetimes ago
which sparks new adventure
An internal voice tries to stop you from proceeding
through a sudden fear
an increase in your heart rate
wildly swirling thoughts that go nowhere
memories of past times when you tried to expand
and failed
But your lineage is part of you
cannot be denied
though you try consciously to ignore it
your ancestors are relying on you
don’t give up now
right before the awareness
Awareness leads to healing
only the first step
of many
tugs on your heart strings
and leads to massive liberation
for all
You are the Lineage Holder
the one who speaks for those
who have no voice
feels for those who have no body
speaks the healing words
into the void
You touch everyone you meet
some who only hear rumors of your existence
or feel your energy in passing
in ways that are unknown
in the present
but heal past, present, and future lineages
You are the Lineage Holder
worthy of healing
confident of your path
though you know not where it leads
to whom it leads
or what the ultimate outcome will be
