LEGACY OF DIVINITY
A LEGACY OF DIVINITY
Our epoch in human history, in natural history, is inscribed by us each day on the walls of time.
It is an actual fact that the things that we do, or do not do, resonate, radiate, educate, fascinate, long after we are gone. As we research the humans who lived hundreds of thousands , millions of years ago, recording our observations of our forebears, so our descendants will do with us, as dutifully, as certainly.
Work therefore assiduously to assure that what is read and is recorded of us, about us truthfully depicts the lives that we live, lead, love as being worthy of adoration, emulation, celebration, aspiration.
Caveman wrote upon walls. They drew upon experiences to teach us facts about how they lived, worshipped, prospered. We read and we marvel that these ancient ancestors who domesticated fire, animals, nature, agriculture, who formulated numbers, letters, languages, arts and sciences; fishing, navigation: all we now use, might have known, could have known, that their lives were not their own, to ruin or to waste away, but the progeny, legacy of divinity.
