Remembering well

My dear mother quoted my grandfather this morning:
“If you want to reach the fount, you’ll have to strive against the current.”
I remember him saying this to me a lot when I was little.
Taking it to heart, knowing his great strives and knowing full well how right he was.
My mother too was very brave. And my grandmother.
Very proud of my folks, me.
Moments of remembering your core strengths like bookmarks in the chronicles of our lifes.
And between you and me…only dead fish do swim with the stream, don’t they?

I like your writing it makes me feel better.
Your “bookmarks in the chronicles of our lifes.”
