We are the continuation ...


I see a lot of people rejecting their family of origin to create a brand new spiritual family. But actually since we all belong to, the ‘spiritual exercise’ – if any - would be to include also our family of origin. Our parents were the door to the Existence for us, even if they were nothing more, there would have been nothing else without them.

“If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people.”
(Thich Nhat Han)
