What have they bequeathed to us? Of course we owe them for our very existence. And their example of courage as many struggled to find their place in the world. They’ve left us their spirits, their caring and their foibles, their examples of how to live and how to make a mark as they’ve passed through this earthly plane. In many cases, they’ve left behind mementos, land, houses, and companies. We’ve also inherited from them certain phobias, stories of triumphs, scars of difficult journeys and lives. We toast them in this episode and wonder what we’ll leave behind. Ponder for yourselves this rich inheritance, this river of the unconscious that unites us all. In that sense, we are all related; we are all progenitors and all descendants. Observe, rejoice, and scrutinize at the beginning of this new year. To life!"}
