| In
all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage -to know
who we are and where we have come from. Without this enriching
knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments
in life, there is still a vacuum. An emptiness. And the most
disquieting loneliness."

"The Landscape" by Fred M. Fariss
I look over the landscape of genealogy
To discover the footprints
Of those who went before me --
My ancestors.
I am awed by their feeble attempt
To speak to me
Through their paper trails, photographs and hearsay
Of where and how they lived.
When I meet with them
At the threshold of history
The discovery is so exciting
To reconnect.
With those whom I have never seen
And some whom I never knew existed
It is a family reunion
On the plains of imagination.
It is like meeting them
This side of heaven
Before the grand finale
Of personal passage.
The sad note is
The wall
That stands as a divider
Between me and them, yet to be discovered.
There is always hope
Of another discovery
Today - maybe tomorrow
On the landscape of genealogy.
