This is profoundly moving. The idea that Dr. Finch offered permision to ask large questions without apology really resonates—I had a mentor who gave me similar space once, and it completely shifted my intellectual trajectory. What strikes me most is how you frame lineage as something that repositions rather than ends. That's a much more active understanding of rememberance than I'd considered before.
Thank you for taking the time to sit with the piece so closely. That permission to ask large questions—without apology—was one of the greatest gifts Dr. Finch offered me, and I’m moved to hear how a similar gesture shaped your own path. Lineage, for me, has become less about inheritance and more about how we’re asked to carry what we’ve been given. Again, thank you for reading and sharing your reflections.
