As time goes on, it's easy to only look forward.
To keep your eyes, feet, goals--all forward.
I tend to only think about what I could one day do.
I focus my everything on just going.
I write in my planner every single day
what needs to be done, what will happen.
But sometimes, it's essential to flip back
a few days--
a few months--
years, even.
Serenity is found in knowing the past.
In knowing your struggles--your people's struggles.
When you learn about what came before you,
you discover the stepping stones of you.
Culture--what a strange concept.
It's so adaptable, redefining itself at the turn of every century.
Yet its roots are our roots.
They connect us to Ala and keep us grounded.
Remind us of where we came from.
Who we came from. What we are.
When you keep the culture, you have a steady backing to fall on.
This busy life, it sucks you in, it really does, but it's too much.
Humans weren't meant to be so overburdened.
And when you do eventually step back. What do you step back to?
Your roots.
Your culture.
You.
