The Civil War is a wound that is still unwinding. We can't QUITE get over it. It's good to try anyway.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-53667113003410610032012-04-27T21:54:35.776-04:002012-04-27T21:54:35.776-04:00Reya,

He was touched <br />in a way that was totally unfamiliar to him. Listening to him express what <br />he was sensing and feeling was quite extraordinary. <br /><br /> Thanks so much for sharing so much of your life with all of us!<br /><br />Many blessings to you!Ravenstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573180910618244434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-82674936698268967592012-04-27T20:55:36.497-04:002012-04-27T20:55:36.497-04:00Yeah.

The energy in Wales is unique isn't it, but suprisingly I had a weird shamanic experience in Amsterdam when I was a young traveller. Years later, a clairvoyant said "Spirit is telling me that now you understand the mystery of Amsterdam", but I never quite did!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-12918792461457324422012-04-26T16:19:37.296-04:002012-04-26T16:19:37.296-04:00As I understand it, the Appalachians used to be pa...As I understand it, the Appalachians used to be part of the same geological formation as northern Europe, so there's a geological connection to Wales (and all of Britain).<br /><br />It dawned on me recently that the Civil War isn't over yet. (Not a profound or unique insight, but it did dawn on me.) It's like Faulkner said: "The past isn't dead.

We think that the reason we can't get any farther back in our father's genealogy than the civil war is that his family was one of those torn apart and names changed. personally, I think we're in the middle of another civil war right now.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-49962412468089533392012-04-26T10:04:08.836-04:002012-04-26T10:04:08.836-04:00The last picture of the light at the end of the tu...The last picture of the light at the end of the tunnel with the iron gate is especially thought provoking and beautiful.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09080723494077142788noreply@blogger.com
