I love what I am learning about you, Kert, as I read this. The remarkable part of it is our parallel paths. Although I don't have an Elder that I am taking this journey with, so much of what you speak of hits a chord with me about my maternal grandmother. She was a hardworking women who traveled from Finland to the East Coast of Canada as a teenager, having spent the prior years from 8 onward as a nanny to a Swedish doctor's family when there were suddenly too many mouths for her own mother to feed. Our Elders instill in us gifts, the origins of which we may never realize until we are supposed to. Your writing always arrives at the right time for me. Thank you.
