Finally getting around to answering some of these posts, and you're gone for the weekend! Figures... ;)
Yeah, I really liked Karmalingoist's idea of older soul maybe not having lived as many lives. It explains to me why I have such an affinity for old Celtic myths and legends and Medieval/Renaissance times but no real specific time period since then. (Though I'm fully convinced, too, that I was a gypsy at some point!)
I definitely think we reencounter souls as well...that would explain the feeling of "Do I know you" that so often happens with folks we haven't met (in this life) or the feeling of instant connection and comfort we get with certain people. Maybe this extended KL family has all encountered each other before in other lifetimes. That would explain quite a lot!
I would love to know (for sure) that I was once a Celtic princess. It's funny, I had such a blast playing Hermia this year, but my favorite character that I've played this year is Lady Mortimer, the Welsh woman from Henry IV Part 1. It's a very small role, but I swear, I felt more akin to her character than any other I've played. She had a real history in my mind, a real personality, moreso than any other part I've had. I had to actually speak and sing in Welsh. And the best compliment I got, I think ever, was this older gentleman who said, (I'm paraphrasing a bit) "When you spoke and sang, I got the impression that I was looking at something really old, the culture, the history of these people, you embodied it all."
