An Authentic Life 1.1 for pdf - Universalist Radha-Krishnaism

didn’t have a room available, but we smoked and
talked. I rented a small house trailer.
One night, I was at Jasmine’s, a local club, with
some friends. A blues band from Portland played.
Geraldine came with some friends to celebrate completing
Rich’s community organizing class at the college.
It was a weekday night, and I had to work the
next day. I was just about to leave when Geraldine
asked me to dance. I put my hat and coat on the
speakers. We danced until closing--even to a tape during
breaks. It was intense, and others sensed it too.
We said good night, but that was the night we fell in
love.
I knew that if she didn’t call me, I had to call
her. I asked her to a church “prom” held at a member’s
home. Everyone was to come dressed like they
dressed for their high school prom. I never went to a
prom. I wore a sport coat and slacks.
I picked up Geraldine at her home. She blew
me away when she came to the door wearing an antique,
black evening gown. I never saw her like that
before. She was beautiful. After the prom, we went to
Jasmine's to continue partying.
