Backtracking

I have been discussing my memories that I allowed myself to pursue during the past decade that I have lived in southern Arizona. I mentioned George Washington, so that when I went up to Washington University (GWU) in the DC area, I decided to visit every place that he had probably known. This spiritual force that enabled me to do this came over me while I was at a public restroom in southern Virginia after crossing the line from North Carolina into Virginia. There in the ladies restroom was a huge portrait of George Washington on one of the beams in this outdoor stop. While standing there studying this portrait of George, I felt this spiritual force come over me, as if a cloak had descended upon me. From that point on, I visited every single place in Virginia that I could find to learn more about Washington. I had always been a bit curious to know if I could have really had been that awesome figure in our nation's history, and I simply went from one place to another as easy as 1-2-3. One of the places I did visit was the Masonic Temple in Alexandria. (Dan Brown is why I am mentioning all this now.) I was able to get inside to visit the upstairs area where I studied some of the momentos which are placed there, and while there I met a man who used his hands to tell me who he is and did not say anything aloud at all. I learned his name, and his interest...he did speak to tell me that he had been studying the edifice for some time. Otherwise, he would only use hand language and mouthed his thoughts to me. I always associate him with Dan Brown.

Dan's books are quite meaningful to me that way. That is the year that two popes died. And two were elected. Washington was born at Pope's Creek in Virginia.

It all has significance, and for this moment in time, I am going to simply wait to continue with this ongoing thought...I have to check my other habits at the moment as I just got back online after five days...I need to see what is happening elsewhere and will return to take this up again tomorrow...tata...
