I think that some of the writer's blocks lately have just been silly, and this is one of them.
I do believe in reincarnation and past lives, but I couldn't tell you at all what mine may have involved, and personally I don't really know many (if even any) who might be able to. My mom always called me an "old soul," and I'm sure that sparked my belief in such things (even though she's kind of defected and returned Catholic she believes in some random other things, too, and reincarnation is one of those things). I have met people in my life that I have relationships with that just can't be explained from this life...people that when I first met them, often even first saw them, I could already feel our relationship to each other. I am certain that these people are souls from previous lives that I've been lucky enough to be placed on a path with in this lifetime. Of my closest friends, only one did not feel like a previous connection. We didn't really click when we first met, but another friend was so certain we'd get along that he arranged for a second and more involved meeting--by the end of that day you'd have thought we had been best friends forever (and now four years later we've been close friends ever since that day, and she'll be the one standing beside me at my wedding).
So...I drifted, but that's what I think on the subject in a nutshell.
