"The Divine Physician is keeping you in the
hospital of earthly delusion until your
disease of desire for material things is cured.
Then He will let you go Home."

Having room for only two people,
the horse-driven carriage was small. Open
to the elements, we were happy that it was a
warm and sunny day. My sister and I had
ridden into town to go to the bank. Flirting
with a handsome gentleman who held the
door for her, she was older than me and
could do things lacking in propriety. After
she emerged from the bank in this one road
town, we headed back to the farmhouse. I
was a teenager.
Black servants were working very
hard; a cook in the kitchen, and a frail young
woman boiling water for my younger
brother's bathtub. Walking by without a
word, the door was open. White folks were
above such menial tasks in a household such
as ours.
