One time I said to my son, computer guru extraordinaire, I wish there were a computer that we could plug in alternate realities and see where we’d be in the current moment.
He snorted, Ma!(he’s the only one I’d ever allow to call me Ma, and he does it with such love, LOL) that will never happen.
Hello! I know it (likely) will never happen, but it doesn’t stop me from wishing that I sure would like to know if I’d be better off (or not)(or if the door I chose was the only possible good one, as it seemed at the time).
‘course if I found I’d have been better off, that would only make me feel worse in the now…
Anyway, it reminds me of those cool kids’ books where you get a choice on each page: if he opens the window, go to page 23; if he walks thru the door, go to page 17…
Meantime I have had a little glimpse, a coupla’ times, into the road not taken, and if that road had been the same taken with me, it would have been a no-go. Of course, I think I’m different, so the road would be too. But, yeah, right.
In the meantime I’ve decided that one lifetime is not nearly enough for all the things I’d like to see or do or experience or be. So someone has got to come up with the computer, so long as I can view it from the outside, not the inside. I don’t want to get caught up in it, like the Matrix.
I think changing the past would be like dominoes. Who would know what maelstrom it might unleash? Unless, of course, it would click everything in better all the way down the line for everyone.
I don’t ever really want to go back, but I would like to sit down again with my parents, my grandparents, and a couple of favorite aunts and uncles and assorted other friends. I didn’t have near enough time with them.
How about you? in a perfect world, what would it include?

In a PERFECT world, sweet lady ?
Really ?
Less cruelty.
More conscience.
More forgiveness.
Increased sense of personal accountability / responsibility.
That would be a good start…
Yes, I agree to all…maybe throw in the sweetness or color of scent(s) into our mental atmospheres. I am wearing Le Baiser du Dragon in the perfume form today and it is just such a nice atmosphere to carry around with me!
