David Whyte reminds us that we do nothing but from the shoulders of those who have gone before us.
Wheat was the legacy you received from your father? your mother?
A legacy can be helpful or hindering, depending upon the stage, age, context of your life now, their life then. (Define "then.")
- Get clear on their circumstances ... family, gender, the age, the stage, the times, culture, role, fit.
- What was the status quo?
- To what extent and in what ways did they go with the flow? swim against the current? swim upstream?
- What behaviors/predispositions did they model for you? bequeath to you? Which was a Trojan Horse? Which an albatross? Which a gift in the rough?
