Tradition!

   Rated "G" by the Author.

In the surreal moment of the day:
I was helping my mother prepare for the Seder dinner, a Passover tradition, listening to the Pope's Mass, which lead me to appreciate Traditions.



tradition,
without it
we would have nothing to remember or regret
we would have no way of knowing
of a misguided future to prevent

tradition:
times invisible thread
between the past, present and future.

Yes, tradition is so magical, too. Being Catholic and watching the Pope, it brought tears to my eyes, the beauty and magic of tradition and made me proud. You have showed that here, be whatever faith we all are, traditions are everywhere. Lovely.

And we so desperately need to preserve them, and hand them down to the next generation. So many today want everyone to be the same, and to me, that's a damned shame.
