 "A map of meaning" i really love that idea 
 I think you and I are totally on the same page! 

I’m in my ancestral homeland (one generation from me) being in dad’s village with my children a few days ago was a humbling experience! 

It was only 70yrs ago both my parents fled their birthplace (separately) mum was 8 and at least had her parents and brother. My dad was 17 and alone. 

It really compartmentalised them as parents and as mentors. What a gift to have such freedom seeking warriors as parents.

Now I get to absorb and impart that wisdom, strength, legacy and grit upon my children. 

Lucky are we who have been gifted “maps of meaning” from the shoulders of those giants, we were lucky enough to call parents. 🙏😎🧡💜 https://image.nostr.build/b4b3666e8bd38a485a2429527d218b3388db6c84ae9e5f9c824535711cebb1d2.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b91a22a52c6d7b1e839e994d4ffd36548e96b336b08dc146f9a6d7a1d4cfd905.jpg https://image.nostr.build/393464df6f19b7e4c33422778b71d48ded246bb684aa4f80e8a132b256d35f34.jpg
