Week Two -- What Won't Change
There are a half-dozen or so things I’m 99% certain are hardwired into my soul and brain, but the one thing I’m absolutely, positively certain will never, ever change is my DNA. And I think sometimes our ancestors act and live on through us. So this page is a tribute to my Romany ancestors and the impact their contribution to my genetic stew has had on my life. The quote by Lord Byron sums up the outlook that I’ve had since childhood, and fully expect to have when I’m a (hopefully) snarky old lady: “There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing but doubt everything.”
