#OnceUponATime @OnceABC's 'Climax' reveals the #Relative-Nature of one's identity | #Relate #Relatives #Relationship #Psalm23 @CopelandNetwork @ShineOnMedia #Related #Relating #Relates #Relation #Relative #Relations #Relational #Relatively

"The Lord is my shepherd ..." (I forget how Copeland Ministries

 relates that to "RELATIONSHIP"---maybe by explaining that

 it declares how we affirm our 'relationship' to The Lord when

 we follow where He leads us; eating & drinking in remembrance

 of Him, doing things He did "and greater")

---

The word "Relative" is built on ancient words that mean "to Refer."

I watched the second-to-second-to-last episode of ONCE UPON A TIME, where ... (I know it's been over-&-done for a year or two, but ...)

(and yes, it's available on Amazon Prime Video (not the

 one where you subscribe & watch it FOR FREE, but

 the one where you pay 15 bucks for each season you

 wanna watch);

But I'm watching it on NETFLIX ... which I think

 you can get for free if you buy an Amazon FireStick

 (at the 'Relative'-link))

... Henry Mills--previously 'just a child' in the series, who did all the wonderful work of Believing in The Power of Love to make his birth-mother & his grandparents and the whole town of Storybrooke believe that the were actually fairy-tale characters cursed to live in 'this world' (The Land without Magic), a feat that somehow saved the village/realm--

had grown up & moved out---publishing his retelling of the Storybrooke-story (after traveling to a fairy-tale realm, falling in love with Cinderella & having a child with her), and--put under another curse, no doubt (I still haven't seen the last two episodes, where they probably fully explain)--is totally convinced that the whole Storybrooke-story was fiction.

But he was finally convinced that it wasn't fiction--that he really was a 'pen-wizard' whose mothers (both birth- and adopted-) were from another dimension, etc.--when he broke the curse by kissing his adopted mother and/or phoning his younger self to remind himself to get a magic bean from behind his dresser ...

The point is (as also explained in a narrated summary at the end of the episode) our identity/purpose/station in life is decided by our story---a story that we hold true by maintaining our relationships.

Our relatives (with our close friends and co-workers/employers/employees) are remembered as our Survivors & Predecessors—people who possibly touched our lives, possibly as we touched theirs (unless our relationship was celebrity-to-fan ... the celebrity just 'doing-as-the-celebrities-do,' not really affected by any-but-a-few particular fans).
