so funny... Complete resonance, so funny meeting someone here of all places who mentions the SP..
I LOVE The Scarlet Pimpernel and have read all 4 books by Baroness Orczy (SP and the sequels) several times. I'm not surprised you were so affected, even just from the standpoint of the writing—so intense and entertaining and dramatic. It is a delicious book, and just talking about it makes me want to read it again.
I have read a lot of older novels. Elizabeth Goudge is another beautiful writer, and her book, Green Dolphin Street (published in 1944) I have read about once per year since the early 80s. I think you would like any of her books, as her love of nature so profoundly comes through, along with her sense of ultimate goodness in the world.
So much great literature!
Michael Talbot (The Holographic Universe) wrote a book called Past Lives. In it he talked about resonance. For example, and I haven't read it in along time so I am very much paraphrasing, he suggested going down a list of countries in the world, and without thinking, just compiling the ones you feel connected to or not connected to. Then compiling other lists of things you feel resonance with, and in this way you can create a picture of your past lives.
Too funny Diana, too funny.... Oh what a great idea,... I love Michael Talbot. I shall write a list of the countries, and will PM you and we could compare !! lol I'll get the green Dolphin !!!
