Roots

A friend who used to teach with me has loaned me books I've read,
they're books by a New Zealander whose ancestry, she said
is Danish, like my own. Jutland. I've learned a lot about that Dane,
she opened up my eyes. I found an interest (keeps me sane
to concentrate like this...) and so I re-read all the site of our 'Ancestry'
my father wrote. Of great great, great greats, right down to me.
I knew about the people but they hadn't lived within my soul.
I had some pride but now I feel I'm closing in on being 'whole'.
