At its heart, it\u2019s an invitation towards deeper connection to our ancestors, ourselves, and each other. Each reader's path unfolds uniquely\u2014through recognition, reconnection, and reclaiming\u2014bringing them to a sense of belonging within themselves. Then, to one of the book\u2019s central questions: How does my sense of belonging influence the sense of belonging I create for others? \u201cI think what is often missing is landing into our own experience; Using our own body, almost as a tuning fork, to tune into what the other person is feeling,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen we do that, there's this wordless connection that feels both safe and nourishing because we can finally just be ourselves. That, to me, is the essence of belonging.\u201d Our conversation is an exploration of Jerry\u2019s own path to reunion, which takes him to Ireland to visit the grave of his father\u2019s biological mother; To the shade of the cottonwood tree where conversations he had with his father, 30 years after his passing, helped heal their relationship; And, to the \u201cboth and\u201d realization he arrives at with his mother, who despite struggling with mental illness, unwaveringly saved $2 a week to buy his brother and him a camera for photography class. Jerry encapsulates his journey by sharing that\u2014\u201cWhen I reunite with who they were, I move one step closer to my own wholeness\u201d\u2014and invites us to embark on our own. *Editor\u2019s Note: While we experienced some audio fluctuations recording remotely, we\u2019re thankful Jerry\u2019s wisdom remains perfectly clear. Thank you for listening and understanding. ","author_name":"33voices","author_url":"https:\/\/33voices.com","html":"
