Everyone can relate to looking at family photos or attending family reunions and asking amusingly- 'How am I related to these people?' As families expand to grandchildren, great grandchildren, second & third cousins- our paths create more distance and differences, but our roots remain the same.
There is a special comfort of having a 'family tree'. A group of such diverse people sharing a commonality. A foundation providing inner strength when the world becomes too big or life begins to shake our branches. How fortunate to all be guided and supported by the same root. A root which grew from unconditional love, devotion to family and the awareness of a higher power.
When it's family, we spread our branches and strive for our own sunshine. When it's family, we never hesitate to bend our branch, and allow another to feel the sunshine, too.
