On this day in 46 BC Julius Caesar dedicated a temple to his mythical ancestor Venus Genetrix in accordance with a vow he made at the Battle of Pharsalus. In 1580 Sir Francis Drake finished his circumnavigation of the Earth. In 1960, in Chicago, the first televised debate took place between presidential candidates Richard M. Nixon and John F. Kennedy. In 1969 Abbey Road, the last recorded album by The Beatles, was released. In 1984 Britain and China finalized proposals to end 150 years of British rule in Hong Kong.
Today I am reflecting about irrevocable choices and their consequences. Sometimes it is something as simple as saying [or writing] something; sometimes it is something that is done or not done. But once it happens, the path has changed. I watch while people make these choices without forethought or mindfulness and wonder if they would do anything differently if they realized this one thing was going to have a disparate impact on their future. I look back on my past and can see those choices – perhaps it is a blessing that I realize most of the time that I am indeed taking a step from which there is no return when I am doing it. I put this in the category of good news/bad news: OTOH? At least I am spared wondering “what happened”. OTOH? I have to keep from regretting now decisions made then
Today I watched a choice being made that I think is irrevocable. It doesn’t change my path, but I sent a quiet prayer and beams of well-being from the sidelines to that young person because I don’t think they understand what they have chosen.
