When we were at Stonehenge, she and her father charged around the outer ring, plowing ahead of people, trying to get around as fast as possible.
At Glastonbury Abbey, they walked around and looked at the old stuff and thought---gee, it's old. They felt nothing else. Perhaps they felt the historic value of the places, but nothing else.

Meanwhile, the songstress and I were nearly overcome at Stonehenge, nearly unable to make our way around the walkway. Going through the ley lines was like walking through jelly for both of us. And Glastonbury Abbey was ghostly and powerful. I think Karyn was near tears.

Karyn has always been sensitive. She'd break down in tears for no reason at all. Next day, we'd hear some horrible news, like an earthquake devastating some foreign country and thousands dead. Plane crashes she was good at, too. Lately, with all the new things she has to work at, she hasn't had time to sit and wonder, so the dire precognition hasn't come to the surface.

Being a sensitive means being attuned to your other abilities. Being attuned to the auras and vibrations other people give off. Being able to read their moods with more acuity than other people, reading body language more accurately than a polygraph. Telling if somebody is lying to you or trying to take advantage of you. Never fails. Never. A sensitive can pick out a liar or a cheat a mile away.

Along with this "gift" comes the burden of being able to detect someone's black aura, knowing when they're going to be sick or even worse. You can tell where something is wrong in a person's body frequently. But, like Cassandra, you can't be sure, you doubt yourself and even if you tell somebody your fears, they don't believe you until science tells them the exact same thing.

I am a sensitive. Though I gave up using my abilities in order to have children, I am still sensitive and even when I try to deny feelings, I can't. Ignoring them is nearly impossible unless I am completely absorbed in something else. The less you use it, the weaker it becomes.
The more you shut it off, the less reliable it is. Use it or lose it.

Fine by me.

It was always such a burden.

But, if I tell you not to go someplace or especially if I tell you not to get on an airplane--don't.
