Genealogy, Physical and Spiritual

 

Today MyHeritage notified me that they have found a new "Theory of Family Relativity" to explain my relatedness to a young man in Ireland. Their theory is correct, and nothing new. I have met the young man and conversed with him. I have many hundreds of genetic cousins, many of them from Finland and Sweden. Most are at the level of fifth or fourth cousins. A fifth cousin is a descendant of a sibling of one of your great-great-great-grandparents. How many of those ggg-grandparents do you have? Thirty-two. How many descendants of their siblings are there? Usually at least hundreds or thousands. Such a family relationship may be historically interesting, but how important is it to your development as a person? Not very.

But the situation is different with spiritual genealogy. There are no companies that will trace those relationships for you, and yet all of them are important. How many do you have? Probably many. I have already mentioned some of mine in this blog: St. Francis of Assisi, St. Teresa of Avila, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Shlomo Carlebach. But I have not mentioned Lalla of Kashmir, Rabbi Yeshua, Gabriela Mistral, or Ted Bardacke. Are there any Unitarians in this group? Oh, yes. Any naked poets? At least one. 

Have I met any of these people in person? Only Shlomo and Ted. The others have influenced me through their writings. Is that any less important than a physical meeting? I don't think so. It is a spiritual meeting.

Body by Yoga; Age by Life

 

I did yoga extensively, usually daily, for more than forty years. Now that I'm nearly eighty-two years old, I don't do hatha yoga in the same way that I once did. But I still do parts of it, applying it to specific situations. I have to say that yoga has made my life better, and it continues to do so.

No Husband

 

In our Florida kitchen

there was a sign above the sink,

that read, "No husband has ever been shot

while doing the dishes."

We still had the sign

in the old folks' home,

and I still did the dishes.

Alone, I still did them,

though not as many.

Now, in another country,

I'm nobody's husband,

but I still do the dishes,

and I still wear the ring.

Feeding the Fire

 

I've had a lot of fireplaces and fires in my life, and a lot of places, and a lot of houses. 

In the first place where Sandy and I lived together, I remember listening to the music of The Byrds while watching the flames and reminiscing about the 1967 Summer of Love. The fire helped to take me back to a precious time in my life.

In North Carolina, I had a cord of wood stacked up between two trees. I would brush the snow off the wood before carrying it into the house.

Our floating home in Portland, OR had a gas fireplace--not nearly as interesting.

When we lived in Martinez, CA, we had no real fireplace at all--just two fake ones (one of them made by the Amish), with electric heaters in them.

We were back on track, though, when we moved to Uruguay. There, we had to deal with all the logistics of leña, firewood.

Here I am, back in Uruguay. Firewood, though, is at least four times as expensive as it was when Sandy and I first came here. All of it comes from the northern, interior part of the country, far from the touristy coast.

Right now I'm in my friend's house in La Paloma, a couple hours drive from my own house. She has a big wood stove, and we do our best to keep it fed.

One thing that I've noticed is that I like to feed the fire. It's almost a meditative thing. You have a relationship with the fire, and it's a deep one if you build it from scratch. You know every step of its development, in which you had a hand.

I don't have a fireplace or a wood stove in my own house, just three electric "splits.". I'll probably have a pellet stove installed, in the interest of efficiency. It will heat well, but I'll be missing out on feeding the fire.
