Have you ever thought about your past lives?
No?
Well, do it now.

...
So who were you?


Were you a brave soldier in Washington's army?
Were you a conniving lawyer twisted in a complicated trial?
Were you a stay-at-home mother in a house full of young children?

Some say that it's impossible to know who you were...
Others do not believe in reincarnation at all.
Do you?
I do.

Here's the thing:
Either my mind is far more imaginative than I thought
or the images in my head are glimpses of who I was.
From what I've seen (and felt), I was many things...

An abolitionist, fighting against slavery.
A women's rights activist, trying to gain equal rights for all sexes.
A teenage Beatlemaniac, habitually listening to the Beatles's albums.
A peace activist, using flowers to end the war in Vietnam.

How odd.

All of these lives make up who I am today...
A lover of peace, a strong believer in equality, a melomaniac.

It's strange, how much influence the past has over a person.
I really should be paying more attention in class...
