We are forgetting our memories, we all joke that we have early alzheimers, and I for the longest time was convinced that we have soooo much information in our brains that we had to let go of the old to allow in the new. I am feeling now that it is actually a gift from the cosmos. Our stories carry so much weight because it is not just our story but generations of stories and all of the weight of our ancestors. We are new in every moment when we focus on the now.  This allows us to let go of the weight of the past and live right now where everything is created from.
Imagine if we all woke up one morning and our stories didn't exist. We knew our loved ones yet everything before and all history and generations of anger and bitterness just didn't exist........Imagine, really.......  we actually have the power now to let go of our story and honour and heal our ancestors in the now.  What a gift we could give them if we let go of everything. Then we wouldn't have to spend our energies in this lifetime healing what they went through or even what we went through because we were of course affected by the family stories and cultural history.
