My Great-Grandfather’s Hymns — my latest project
During the past two years I have been doing a lot of connecting with some of my ancestors. Most notably, after discovering a long-lost manuscript of my grandfather’s memoir three years ago, I had my daughter, Sathari, transcribe it into electronic form. I then edited and published it (“My First Life – Becoming a man on the Colorado Frontier 1880 – 1905”). At the beginning of 2023 I took on another project, writing new music for hymn lyrics written more than 100 years ago by my great grandfather, Johnson Oat
I have long believed that the task of “consciously aware” humans is to heal from such influences so we do not pass them on to future generations. But getting to know my ancestors through their own words and lyrics has led me to believe that it is not only the psychological and physiological health of future generations that is facilitated by focusing on our own healing – it is also, quite literally, healing the wounds of our ancestors.
