Transcription
"...held little history for me. Or German history for that matter. But this sparked an interest in the Romans. I read the Robert Massie bio of Catherine the Great. What that showed me was that one country's interference in another country's power structure goes way back. And women were used as tools for political alliances, well, not just women. There's the biological material that passes down from the mother line and the father line. But the soul / spirit, I believe, is a time traveler, part of the mystery beyond understanding."
