our ancestral lineage

Growing up in the Orient, we learn to incorporate the dead among the living. Beliefs of reincarnation and ancestral spirit guidance are all part and parcel of growing up Asian.

Moving west we find shared traditions among indigenous tribes and their practices as well. It brings us comfort and brings us comfort as we make our home here now.

Honoring our Spirits
 YES! comic and illustration by Jen Luxton

As immigrants we rest easy among the diverse traditions - local and imp[a/o]rted - that keep our ancestors and dead loved ones close and remembered fondly.

We can expand our ancestral connections to include realms beyond our bloodlines - to strengthen lineages by including all of life - on this plane and in the spirit world.

Past, current, and future - are all connected. We are all in this together - interwoven.

hearts afire

This Valentine Day, here at wonder | wander | world we sing this ode of love 💘

Yet another Hearts Afire historical icon is the 90s American sitcom starring the late great John Ritter at his ever relevant irreverent best.

Not to be mistaken with the Marian ministry site of the same name proudly touting "SHOP Mercy."

Plus our personal fave from 188 Galerie - be my Valentine!
