Legacies

From the Tarot of the Pagan Cats, the Ten of Pentacles; from the Brownies Oracle, 'Early Train:'

          Regardless of whether we have children or not, we will all leave a legacy behind. Even if our bank account is bulging, what will our lives relay about how we value other living beings and the Earth? Yet the Brownie brings up something even more important: nothing is acquired or sustained without effort.

The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

 —William James
