I grew up recycling and appreciating nature. I know where that influence came from. I know we're here for brief moments and I also feel there is something else. This my parents and grandparents instilled. I've seen the shows about the after but I also look at my daughter and see my grandfather's eyes. George Anderson was a gentle and generous soul. Every time I was out in California I always made it a point to visit him in the Valley of the moon. He taught me how to swing a golf club and shared a love of music. He was super kind and it showed in smile. The time before last he gave me a wood clock that he had made. I actually made him sign the back so I could one day show my daughter who was just one at the time. He was a teacher and a engineer for a time in his life and was always making stuff in his garage. Today she is two(literally) and I hope one day she can look at her kids, if she is lucky, and share something about her parents, and her parents parents, and their parents. That is the afterlife. G*d Bless the unknown and peace be with you. This is a set-list for part of the journey.
