A person's name is the greatest connection to their own identity and individuality. Names are a gift from God. These words contain His power. They give things meaning. They bring us meaning.
The etymology of my first name, Millard, means "keeper of the grain". I grew up on a farm! My middle name is Vincent, translated from Latin meaning "conquering" or "winning". That has played out well in my life, where I have had to "conquer" and "win" [over] some major life challenges. My mother picked those names for me.
Thank you! That interconnectivity is not limited to us who are human. Animals have a very definite way of "thinking"; and, where dogs are present, wholesome unconditional love. Buddha warns us about "ego".
