“Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

File this under: How To Apologize.
Had a 15 minute skype session with my sister and two former neighbors that visited her.
Our friendship was bound by Santol.
We had two Santol trees on both sides of our house.
Just typing that sentence made my mouth both salivate and pucker. Weird.
Rudy, the guy on the right once got hit on the eye with a Santol that was picked and tossed down by Joel, the guy on the left.
I remember Rudy crying, and Joel asking: "Why did you not catch it?"
We were young, and clearly had not yet learned the art of a proper apology.
I am still learning.
