"...my heart yearns to even the score and at least let them know that I am deeply sorry for my former actions."
I feel that this healing sentiment might go out in meditations, if there is no practical way to voice it. No one makes it through life without leaving footprints behind. Every person has left good ones and not so good ones. Something tells me that most of your prints are good, Doug. You saw something at my place and I see something here. I see an evolved and soulful man with a good heart. Not everyone reaches that place. Nice work, {{{{{Doug}}}}}.

Yes, indeed, a lovely and thoughtful entry. (By the way, Rhode Island pension funds are also considering dropping any companies that have investments in Sudan.)

I've been to Zion National Park, and I enjoyed visiting the area again on your Magic Carpet Ride. A beautiful and heartfelt entry.

It's always good to get away and think on things -- even in our imaginations. I was right there with you, Doug. Lovely.

What a wonderful escape, Doug! I was raised in the Great Basin Country, but I never learned to love it til much later. I always longed for greenery and mountains, and didn't appreciate the beauty that was all around me. Funny how that works, isn't it. Now that you've shown the way, I see that I have access to a lot of wonderful escapes, just revisiting some of the great places I've lived. I may not have the talent for detail that you have (I so loved your mentioning the bell from the streetcar in some of your other writing), but I know it's the love of the place that makes the escape so wonderful.
I know how you feel about regrets. Living alone, I have time for a lot of them. I didn't have the excuse of alcohol for a lot of the things I did, but in my mind, that just makes them worse. My husband was an alcoholic. Wonder if I had something to do with that? No, I know I probably didn't--but the relationships in marriage are really a combination of horrors, sometimes, aren't they.
We had a friend whose wife divorced him because he was an alcoholic. He went to Texas, met a wonderful girl, found Jesus, and became the wonderful person he probably always had been inside. I told my husband if he ever did that to me--left me and became a totally happy and wonderful man--I would have to kill him!
Thanks for the lovely experience, Doug.

I enjoyed your trip back in time, Doug.
What Lynn said is true, that we all leave footprints, and I have an idea that your's are mostly good.
