RE: The Song I Wrote With My Birth Mother After She Found Me
Omg you two are identical ! It's funny how we can resemble our parents in so many different ways and still be so different. My father is really into the idea of generational memory and when we both share don't our passion for writing with each other a few weeks ago, we discovered we have similar styles, kind of proving his point to some degree. We differ in our interpretations of that concept though, he believes we are destined to carry the positive and negatives forrever, I believe that we inherit the gifts and the baggage from our parents and it's our job to turn the baggage into more gifts.
I'm interested in generational memory too, ever since I saw an article about it a few years ago. There was a lot of trauma in my birth-grandmother's family, and I think it has affected her children and grandchildren. I really love your idea that we can turn that baggage into more gifts.
That's my experience anyway. I grew up with a lot of issues that were obviously inherited either through nature or through nurture and really exaggerated by the environment. If I hadn't learned to transform myself, I don't think I'd be here today.
There's an African shaman who talks about this in a less scientific way but some of those ideas about ancestors are really similar to generational memory. I think is name is professor malidoma some? I need to check.
You should write more, I really enjoy your posts
Thank you! I'm taking some time off from work soon to hopefully write more.
Have you written any articles about how you transformed yourself? I'm still struggling with that and would love to read them.
The next two should be more personal in nature, I'll probably post one early in the week
