Household and Heart
Legacy
A short Ma’at meditation on legacy, truth, and the discipline of right living.
No one lives forever, but a name can outlive the flesh.
What will your name mean when it is spoken after you are gone?
Monuments of stone crumble, but deeds of goodness remain in stories and hearts.
Kindness to a stranger, wisdom shared with a child, justice done in secret – these are bricks in the house of your legacy.
Writings may fade and statues fall, but the memory of virtue endures in the soul of the living.
Live so that long after your departure, the echo of your life gives others courage.
