Well I do remember another life, not a great and important one, I remember being on an estate, I was roman lady, on a balcony, looking out over fields animals and workers. It was a lovely day, I was very old, and thinking how lucky I was that the horror that had happened in the Empire had not touched myself my husband or my family, they were all fine and healthy. I felt so blessed because of that, as if we had lived a charmed life, I know the person I was had bad things happen, and good things, but above all she had loved her life, and her family. And was at that moment celebrating that fact. I remember that when I first experience it, I thought I was going quite mad, but it happened again several times, when I was young, and less as I got older, I think the times when I become that woman for a better word, are the times when her and my lives are close together. I have a few other odd memory's but that one was always so strong that I have never doubted the fact that I lived before. > >blessed beast! > >lorax666 -- Shez shez@oldcity.f2s.com
