Right Relations
The Ancestors
A short Ma’at meditation on the ancestors, truth, and the discipline of right living.
In the ruins of old tombs, wisdom is carved on stone.
Heed the counsel of those who came before.
They built the first roads; their failures and triumphs paved your way.
By studying yesterday, you may foresee tomorrow.
Emulate the best in your forebears and learn from their mistakes.
Thus you honor their spirits and continue their story.
The one who remembers their roots stands firm against the fiercest wind.
