It had been an interesting week, having  vacationed in Charleston,South Carolina, I decided to drive to Fredricksburg Virginia on my wayback home to Indiana.

It was a long drive and  since I didn'tleave Charleston until late morning,I didn't arrive in Richmond Virginia until after dark. I decided to stay in Richmond and drive upto Fredricksburg the next morning.

 Pulling off I-95 and drivinginto town, I suddenly drove past a cemetery on the left. Looking over,my first thought was,"That's funny, that cemetery wasn't there the lasttime I was here." The interesting part was, I had never been herebefore! Passing the gate, I noticed a sign stating it was a Civil War Cemetery. My next thought was, " That is the reason I don't recognizeit, I was here during the American Revolution, the cemetery wasn't hereyet!"

I still hadn't quite grasped the idea that reincarnationwas a possibility, however , this thought, completely unprovoked  gavemore credence to that possibility. As I drove into town more surprisesawaited me! This was amazing I recognized everything about the town,it was like I had been here just yesterday! I had no trouble finding myway around, all the way through town to the Rising Sun Inn on the farend of town. This Inn had been owned by Lawrence Washington, GeorgeWashington's brother!

 The Inn had been preserved fromRevolutionary War times, touring the building, it seemed so natural tobe here. I sensed I had eaten and stayed here many times. Walking thestreets of town I came to theMasonic Lodge, It was George Washington'shome lodge. How cool! It was open, never thinking I would have thisopportunity, I quickly entered the building and approached the lodgeroom. It was like any other lodge I had ever had the privilege toenter. The special part was knowing that George Washington and otherfounding fathers had met in this very room! One could only imagine whatconversations had taken place during that important part of ourhistory! What plans were made, who made them, and how was it decided which course of action should be taken?

 What part did I play in this, who was I, and why was I drawnhere at this particular time?

The founding of our country hadalways fascinated me, I never tired of reading about how that period oftime had changed the lives of all  mankind. Realizing that I mighthave played a part, even if it was a small part, was extremelygratifying! Deep down, I had always had those feelings of living inthose times, but never really considered it a possibility, until now.Even though at times such a concept as reincarnatin was hard toaccept,the evidence was overwhelming!

I now realized ,while in Charleston, I had some of the same thoughts  enter my mind. Everyonerelates Charleston with the Civil War, maybe my time there was during anearlier period, when Charleston was equally important in the beginningof our Republic, the American Revolution.
