12: Past and Future
A street scene in Sydney, Australia; three generations of women swimming.
Life does not exist in a vacuum. We all come from someone, somewhere. Our karma is entangled with all of those people who have shaped our lives and whose lives we have shaped. The karma of the planet is entangled with the lives of the people who live on her. Look back to your past, and the people who have influenced you, the places you have gone. Look further back to the people who toiled before you to create the world in which you now live.
Today there are cities that reach to the sky.
Where will you be tomorrow?
How will you shape the destiny of the future?
What will you pass down to generations to come when you become an ancestor?
