I would love to re-play some of the scenes in my life. I wonder how many that would be, given the opportunity. The tricky thing about re-plays is that is where experience is created and experience is essential for other scenes that did not need a replay because of the preparation the re-plays provide. So, the perennial question, “Where would we be better off?” And if I am going to get one right it would be, “Here I am, now what?” If we get the “Now what?” right the rest of the way, that would be recompense enough, I think. And the only person we have to please is ourselves, with that in mind, recompense is something we only have to work out with ourselves.
