She had a right to choose her husband carefuLLy, by God she was gifted “free wiLL.” … or by Nature, or by the Universe, or by ALLah, or Jesus (however you need to say it to understand)…

… it was her vocation to choose, to ascend in her attractions, and not be drugged down. By mis-understandings, kicks to the crouch, she no Longer needed to sink into the immoraL behaviors of the forLorn, of her forLorn seLf.

If she was doing it, if she was choosing it, it was a means to an end. The end is aLways the beginning… I’m getting back to my roots. and “she” is me.

And I am her. I’m nothing at aLL, but Spirit. The journey is in the Spirit.

A sentence from my favorite book…

“She had a wiLL to try out every stratagem to see what changes wouLd be necessary
under what conditions, what changes in the paths of the hunt for what different, larger, swifter or sLyer animaLs…“

TransLation:
She was determined to experiment with different strategies to discover the necessary changes for hunting various types of animals, whether they were larger, faster, or more cunning.

She wanted every hunting principLe extended to her. Every reLigion understood.

“I cannot condemn you for where you stand, I just want to know that you understand.”

… and furthermore,

Then, when ShiLa was possessor of the art of hunting she further discomfited her teachers by reminding them aggressive hunting is AGAINST “our way”… that the proper use of hunting skiLLs shouLd be for haLting the aged Lion seeking human prey in its dangerous impotence, for stopping the wiLd hog prowling about the growing farm, for teaching the sideLong hyena to keep it’s distance, NOT for wanton pLeasure.
