She came before me

i am grateful to have a whole line of artistic+intelligent+self-sufficient+industrious+interesting+strong and rather witty women-folk that i come from. they are/were diverse and the same. they are/were wild and conservative. they are/were boisterous and stoic. they are/were complex and simple. a midwife,seamstress,farmer,doll-maker,teacher,storyteller,medicinewoman,lodge mistress, organist, cook, and a laundress made me who i am. for better for worse.

WE ARE DESCENDANTS OF OUR ANCESTORS AND THEY GO WHERE EVER WE GO
