I appreciated your quick reply, it was a surprise and needless to say very well received. The reasons you stated for staying away from me are the exact stimuli nature instilled in each one of us, when unhampered by the chaos I spoke of, that drives us to epic new ideas and achievements. The stimuli I speak of are INFATUATION and EUPHORIA, that feeling experienced after enjoying sex that leaves you drained, feeling wonderful and laughing. It's those feelings sustained in a healthy mental environment long enough, when used properly, that motivates us to achieve great things. They are the untold stories (motivations) in the “Fairy Tales” the reason the Knight slays the dragon to win the young maidens favor or the young maidens uses her feminine wilds to attract the young Prince, …show more content…

    I live in a historically black neighborhood on the edge of Annapolis, MD, about five miles from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

It was inhabited by several black families freed after the Civil War; the Johnsons and the Browns and the Pecks. My house is a former part of the Johnson property.

As I mentioned earlier, for many years I made it a point to keep my spiritual life separate from my personal. Furthermore, the news seemed to be an endless meditation on negativity; draining to say the least. From where I stand now imposing that artificial separation between spiritual and person seem rather trite and juvenile, despite the fact that it was beneficial for a time.
