My root is a material connexion – connecting my energetic mass to that of the Earth. Temporal connexion – my relationship with time – is managed through faith, hope and love. Faith is my connexion with the past – my ability to find support in what I have inherited – ancestors, traditions, culture, etc. Hope is my active belief in a future – a destiny that calls. And love is my expression of energy in the present, such that that present becomes in some way eternal – significant deeds, strung between faith and hope, reverberating and cutting through time.
