Touching the Earth | Thich Nhat Hanh

“In gratitude I bow to my ancestors in my blood family through all generations.
I see my father and my mother whose blood and flesh and vitality is a present in me, circulating in my veins and nourishing every cell in me.
Through my parents I see my grandpa, grandma on the paternal side as well as on the maternal side. Their energy has entered me with all expectations, all experiences and wisdom transmitted from so many generations of ancestors.
I carry in me the life, the blood, the experiences, the wisdom, the happiness and the sorrow of all generations.
The suffering and the elements that are to be transformed, I am practicing to transform. I opened my heart and my flesh and bones to receive the energy of insight, of love and of experiences transmitted to me by all my ancestors... ”
