Ancestral DNA
Sep 5, 2018 · 1 min read

I come from a line of strong women.
My DNA perseveres.
I carry in my body ancestral memories of pain and hunger,
courageous action and adventurous undertakings.
I hold in my cells the desperate desire for a better life.
I hold in my breaking heart the dream of a better world.
