The pages were turning quickly until I got to this part almost half way through, and then I was stopped in my tracks. I&#8217;m not interested in reading any further. It seems like the whole purpose of reading this book was to get to this section. It&#8217;s on my mind a lot &#8212; this new awareness is calming the agitation that&#8217;s developed from current events. It&#8217;s like I know where I belong, I know my lineage.
