In this episode I share a message from my great-grandmother, the last words she spoke to me before she died: "Don't let anyone step on you." I'm reflecting on the precious wisdom of elders, and the power of standing up for ourselves in a world that often tries to hold us down.Modern Western society has largely disconnected us from our elders and their wisdom, by separating generations from one another physically, socially, and spiritually. That is one reason so many of us are divided, misguided, and lost, and it's one of the roots of the separation sickness of modern culture. But deep connection still lives in our ancestral memory, and it's a path toward wholeness in a fragmented world. Reconnecting to the fullness of being human includes reconnecting our stories to the stories of those who came before us. If you still have access to your elders, listen to their stories. If they've passed, honor them by the way you live, knowing that their wisdom lives on in you. And don't let anyone step on you.I honor your memory, Grandma Agnes, by telling your story and saying your name.
