This is a family. (9)

We carry family around in our DNA everywhere we go. Folx who we maybe never met in person can nonetheless have arms that reach into and around our lives through stories, through family culture, and through our genetic expression. In addition to genetic influences, epigenetic influences from behaviors, from beliefs, and from the DNA of adoptive parents and other guardians can also have a big impact on the expression of our own DNA, particularly when we are young and very young. In fact, because science has now shown that our DNA is impressionable, we perhaps also need to widen our definition of blood family. What is one genetic or epigenetic influence or expression you perceive about yourself that you associate with family?

In response to the much-needed call for #COVIDCompassion, #MindfulHearts offers the sister chant of #QuarantineCompersion.
​The art and skill of understanding the suffering of others and feeling and acting on the impulse to lessen that suffering goes hand in hand with the art and skill of feeling and acting on the impulse to nourish joy everywhere. May we all have moments of joy that grow and extend through the times we live in and beyond.
