Badass Ancestors

BADASS ANCESTORS

James Nasymth shares this wisdom, “Our history begins before we are born. We represent the hereditary influences of our race, & our ancestors virtually live in us.” 

We are part of a lineage, a stream of intention and creation whose fountain springs from our ancestors. 

Their lives have been lived and completed with a beginning-middle-end. And yet, something of them lives within each of us. 

I feel compelled to include my ancestors as subject matter for this podcast & in doing so I’m inviting you to call your ancestors forward to listen with you today. 

Their forces have had a hand in shaping us. It’s a beautiful idea, to see ourselves as a stream, as a lineage, and important to remember and honor those who came before us.

This podcast is being recorded in Honolulu, Hawaii.  I acknowledge that the unceded ‘Āina, or land, in which I live, called Kakaako, is part of the larger territory recognized by Kānaka Maoli, or indigenous Hawaiians.  I'm honored and grateful to be a guest of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
