Who Were You Before Max

My grandson is only three, so I decided to ask “Who were you before you were Max?” He began telling me of lifetimes he had lived long ago. Then his speech turned into gibberish, or so I thought. I wrote it down anyway, the best I could. He was chanting and drumming now. An elderly neighbor, came down to listen. “That is Cherokee,” he said. “It is our wailing song.” Where is he getting this? I asked. Other lifetimes, or from his spiritual guides. I remembered then we had recently taken a ghost walk. I wondered now if we had brought someone else home with us.

Ah, Richard, you must have never played Ouija Boards with me! It is quite the experience.

Oh, yes. Little Max has much from the past stored up in his mind. I believe this. I have friends who swear I'm crazy, but I'm not, and I have other friends who come to visit and share their other world adventures. We are so much more than what we seem!

We truly all have our own life experiences, nothing is a complete surprise.
