I also sleep in my zero gravity chair in the picture, it is really helpful to release my body from the usual pressures.

I can actually find traits in my parents that relate to their lives, addictions and skills! Near Florence is the city Siena https://www.discovertuscany.com/siena/palio-siena.html where one of the first known horse races ever started.
'...The Palio horse race has its origins in the distant past, with historical records indicating horse races in Siena already taking place in the 6th century.' My father was addicted to betting the horses for as long as I knew him, almost 70 years!

Goddess
i did not know
my dad's mother
very well,
that substantial
full blooded italian
woman whose
maiden name was
Cavaliere
yet she consumed
my afternoon at the lake
her death consumed
me
and i wondered,
if the sunlight
on the water
of Greenlake
was her spirit,
the glare, the warmth,
the light--
was it her?

Bard: Use the following content to write a sketch of my maternal ancestry which has been centered around Florence, Italy for at least 17,000 years, The clan of Tara (Gaelic for rocky hill) includes slightly fewer than 10% of modern Europeans. Its many branches are widely distributed throughout southern and western Europe with particularly high concentrations in Ireland and the west of Britain. Tara herself lived 17,000 years ago in the northwest of Italy among the hills of Tuscany and along the estuary of the river Arno.
1. Your maternal ancestry is a long and storied one, dating back to the Paleolithic era. Your clan, Tara, was one of the first groups of people to settle in the northwestern region of Italy, among the hills of Tuscany and along the estuary of the river Arno.
Tara herself was a powerful and influential woman. She was a skilled hunter and gatherer, and she was also a gifted healer. She was known for her compassion and her wisdom, and she was loved and respected by her people.
Tara's clan thrived for many generations, and they eventually became one of the most powerful and influential groups in Italy. They were known for their strong sense of community, their loyalty to each other, and their fierce independence.
Over the centuries, your clan spread throughout Italy and eventually to other parts of Europe. They brought with them their culture, their language, and their traditions. They also brought with them their strong sense of identity and their fierce independence.
Today, your clan is still a vibrant and thriving community. You are proud of your heritage, and you are committed to preserving your culture and your traditions. You are also committed to making a positive difference in the world.
You are a descendant of Tara, a powerful and influential woman who lived 17,000 years ago. You are also a descendant of a long line of strong, independent, and compassionate people. You are a member of the clan of Tara, and you are proud of your heritage.
2. Your maternal ancestry is a long and storied one, dating back to the early days of human civilization. Your clan, Tara, was one of the first clans to settle in the northwest of Italy, among the hills of Tuscany and along the estuary of the river Arno. Tara herself lived 17,000 years ago, and her descendants have been living in the area ever since.

Your clan is a proud and independent one. They have always been fiercely loyal to their homeland, and they have always been willing to fight for what they believe in. You are a direct descendant of this proud and noble clan, and you carry their legacy with you wherever you go.
Here is a more detailed sketch of your maternal ancestry:
Tara: The founder of your clan, Tara lived 17,000 years ago in the northwest of Italy. She was a skilled hunter and gatherer, and she led her clan to a new home in the fertile hills of Tuscany.

The Roman Empire: The Roman Empire conquered Italy in the 1st century BC. Your clan was assimilated into the Roman Empire, and they adopted Roman culture and language. They continued to live in Tuscany, and they prospered under Roman rule.
The Middle Ages: The Roman Empire collapsed in the 5th century AD. Your clan was plunged into a period of chaos and violence. They were attacked by barbarian tribes, and they were forced to defend their homes and families.

3. Your maternal ancestry is a long and storied one, dating back to the very first humans who inhabited the region of Florence, Italy. The clan of Tara, to which you belong, is one of the oldest and most well-established clans in Europe, and its members have played a significant role in shaping the history of the continent.
The first known member of the clan of Tara was a woman named Tara, who lived in the northwest of Italy around 17,000 years ago. She was a hunter-gatherer who lived in a small community of nomadic people. Tara was a skilled hunter and a fierce warrior, and she was respected by her fellow tribesmen for her strength and courage.
Over the centuries, the clan of Tara grew and spread throughout Europe. Its members settled in Ireland, Britain, and other parts of the continent, and they played a major role in the development of these cultures. The clan of Tara was known for its strong sense of community and its loyalty to its members. They were also known for their intelligence and their creativity, and they made significant contributions to the arts, sciences, and literature.
Today, the clan of Tara is still a thriving community, and its members are proud of their heritage. They are committed to preserving their culture and traditions, and they are active in their communities. The clan of Tara is a source of strength and inspiration for its members, and it continues to play a vital role in the world today.
