If you could do a thorough "cleansing" of your present life, what would you discard (physical things such as possessions or mental things such as attitudes can apply)?
If you could create your own Heaven, what would it be like? Do you think wisdom comes with age? Do you think you see yourself as others do? What is your favorite body of water?
