Continuum of Connectivity: Castigation...Contrition...Conciliation 

Places We've seen; People We've been: Places in our respective, collective lives, the roles we have all played, at one time or another. Both sides of the aisle, from blaming, being victimized...to being the instigator, the aggressor, the antagonist...A whole range of the blame game and eventually, hopefully, arriving at a place in our lives, relationship(s) of accepting responsibility for ourselves...what have/have not done...what we can/cannot undo...what we can recommit ourselves to in moving, "Stepping" forward. Even after we, after putting forth due diligence, have finally completed the Twelfth Step. Time to start over, with renewed efforts...Re: resolve...Re: constitute...

Cable We are, Culpable R Us: As in being capable of regret, remorse, and even forgiveness ("removal"), taking "resentments!" and bitterness out of the equation of your relationship under consideration (in my office, for instance...or wherever, with whomever), and even de-emphasizing blame, culpability. A quick review of regrets, as I've covered this important, universally experienced psychological condition, here before...as has Mr. Sinatra ("𝆕...I've had a few...") -- regrets over things we've said or done (i.e., acts of commission) or those we realize now, after it's too late, we should have done, on behalf of another (those of omission). Regrets, as I have asserted on your behalf, are not a bad place to start a plan for renewal, growth, as they can be 'rocket fuel', a powerful force for change. But not a place to stay; if not done completely or effectively you could return to this place over and over. Remorse, on the other hand, can come in many forms, in my experience, ranging from self-condemnation/reproach...to acts of repentance, penitence, recompense...between which we also find people (ourselves, on occasion, if we are being honest), being superficial in their contrition ("I said I was sorry, isn't that enough?!"). Finally, without fail, every time I am privileged to participate, even facilitate, a process of true, sustaining forgiveness, I learn something new. And end up, with those I am enjoining, enjoying, being in a place of...

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
