When I was fifteen years old, I ran away from home. Now, I don't recommend this to anyone, but, I was brought up in a fine Christian home. A "Mommie Dearest" meets "American Psycho" Christian home. And there came a point in time when I realized, against my own heartfelt feelings, that if I did not leave that home, I would surely die soon. So I ran away. Now, 15 year old kids don't usually fare very well on the street, but I met a lady named Pat. She was a an elderly lady. She saw me on the street and offered to buy me lunch. I ate. She asked if I had a place. I said no. She said "come with me". I did. She gave me a free place to live, and her house was full of witches. Some hated me, because I was young and cute, some didn't acknowledge my existence, but most of them showed me a tender kindness I had never known before, and rarely since. I stayed in that house for a while, and learned the tarot, how to cast spells, how to love, but , then I started to drift. I forgot about this love.

They weren't all witches, there were astrologers and all kinds of what I thought at the time wack jobs. But, I drifted away from this little space in time and had forgotten about it for many years, ... until I came on R/S. And if you want to know what the question is, it is thus; What happens when you start to drift ? Do you just forget, like I did, or is it something that is waiting to be remembered?

it just sits there and waits until you are ready to remember, and then it is a 'coming home' to your true spiritual self. Good luck on the journey

I grew up in a similar environment, add a Catholic school with nuns though.
I have realized as I grow up that you have to drift to find the path you were meant for. If you don't drift, things stay the same and for some that isn't meant to be. Some of us don't want the same everyday for our time here. I look forward to drifting, even if return to the past I've learned new things and have grown mentally and spiritually.

when you drift ... the tide soon brings you back to shore again
