Ancient creatures and ancient identity rites
of inherited biological memory from the primal
to the present. Those that venture far afield in
nomadic travels faithfully return to their destined
roots and so salmon and eels, butterflies and
penguins, terns and wildebeast cross global divides
rediscovering belongings of the past. There finding
harbour to ritually spawn and beget their young
before recommencing their endless generational
wandering. And so too does humanity recall in
inherited memory its ancient past of ceremony
and tilling the earth, the erection of monuments to
a higher order of faith, the resistance of conquest
and struggle against the powers of oppression in
defiance of a dynasty of authority and command
that led to the chaos of violent destruction and death
tormented turmoil, displacement, migration and
exodus whose diaspora nurtured ancient memory
yearning toward returned rediscovery to join the
past with reborn presence celebrating the future.
