On a beautiful cold morning in February, Lex Bohlmeijer and I spoke with writer/philosopher Roman Krznaric about ancestors, time, and looking far beyond our own lives. About Your Ancestor he said: “We need an enormous amount of courage and strength to step away from those short-term cycles, which have cut our connection with the longer cycles of nature, the cycles of the seasons, of the moon, the carbon cycle going on for thousands of years and I think in a way the rhythm of 'Your Ancestor' helps us escape from those short-term cycles. There's something eternal to it.”
