One of humanity’s favorite myths is the story of the do-over. You know what I mean. Stories about reincarnation, Karmic repetition, the gates of St. Peter, the Elysian fields, the Grey Havens, all that jazz… Our desire of course is noble….we want to get it right! …. To get life right…. It seems to me that our awareness of this as an intellecutual, but not physical, possibility is one of the things that tortures us most of all.
