To real describe what I have felt on this journey of finding my roots,this  prophecy is a perfect fit:
 New people will emerge, to retrace their steps and history, to find what was  left by the trail. Their steps will lead them to many places, and to teachers,  and elders of their nations. But many of the elders will have fallen asleep and  will have forgotten, or never learned, the teachings. Some elders and  historians will be silent out of fear and ignorance. Many more will be  overlooked and nothing asked of them. Their task is not easy. It will take  time, hard work, perseverance and faith. The new people must remain strong in  their quest,But in time there will be a rebirth, and a rekindling of a sacred  fire which will light the Eighth and Final Fire of eternal peace,  understanding, and acceptance over the entire world.(The seventh Fire, by Dan  Smith)
