they all fall down

Everyone who ever taught you, in whose footsteps you could follow, or who inspired you by sharing their life’s story.

The only place their wisdom survives, might be you.

I have lost many teachers, but never to death. I have lost sanctuaries, but never to fire. And I’ve seen rise what was destroyed, simply because someone carried it in their heart, and buried the seed some place else, watered it, and let it grow into a new tree.

I can even remember the first divorce from a wedding I attended when I was only a few years old.
It was the first time I understood that nothing is forever. Not even (or perhaps in particular not?) when we believe it to be.

But you never grow accustomed to it, not even to the endings that were not dramatic, spectacular or overly sad.
Even when you were very aware of their flaws. Again; Maybe especially then.
To have conflict or tension unresolved, or unexpressed.

But what I have also noticed is excitement, like the experience has now become totally mine.
I no longer have to memorize the events the way other people do, and can flip it upside down, inside out and paste it together backwards.

Religions, organizations, institutions, study groups, entire lineages or bodies of work;
Abandoned, sometimes left to die.

Because someone died or because everyone just turned their back on it.

It’s not about legality, or taking something that isn’t yours;
It’s about this knowledge no longer having a body to live.

Because the person or organization who embodied them, is gone.

This course you took, that book you purchased and that playlist you created on YouTube which now turns up grey because the channel was deleted;
You are now the one to carry this knowledge forward. Not by copying but by planting the seeds of the idea of it, into the fertile soil of everything you learned over the years;
And letting it grow.

Not as an invitation, but a responsibility.
