What you said is perfectly correct Max.Fathers and their fathers and ancestors because of them we are free today, they made our world and we have to do the same?

Such melancholy in your poem. It takes a few years to realize the patterns we make with our parents. Their past becomes Eden, our past will be Eden for our children, they will not realize until they have children of their own. It reminds me of a poem I put online, Cat Nap, which shows how I hide from such moods, but I arrived there by reading Chaim Grade's 'My Mother's Sabbath Days' which I do recommend. Take care, this week and throughout. Linda

Max, I will mark this as one of my favorites. It is a wonderful, healing way to look at the 'sins of the fathers.' I especially like the image of fathers rising in one horizon and setting on the other. That is startling and a peaceful way of looking at our fathers. Thanks for this. Raynette
