The glue that
holds together
with resilience of wisdom
Forever present - the heritage
The old not
appreciated always
the invaluable antiques
Forever new - the heritage
Infused in tradition
open to new
with roots in time
Forever cool - the heritage
The celebration
of what was
The beauty of what is
Forever joyful - the heritage
Musical with it's refrain! I love the image of it as a plant rooted in time growing with what's new.

Ignore the past at our peril.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, but it usually it takes years to finally realize this.
