    Some interesting answers here. Enjoyed reading them.

    If I were say 30 to 35 years old this would be my answer:

    In twenty years I hope my family/extended family/friend relationships and support systems are stronger than ever. Good support systems will be very helpful in the future. At the same time, I'd like to learn more about the bigger world out there and keep in touch with others around the world.

    I'd like to learn to both live well and and at the same time live more simply and live more cooperatively while also more self-sufficiently. I'd like to be in a mutually supportive community.

    But in my real life and at my age what I really want in twenty years is to be living closer to the coast again and have done something with my life that I can really feel good about. In twenty years I hope I have better peace of mind.

    You can always look back fondly on your time here and know that you have passed the torch to some of the younger folks-(hippies) that share a lot of your views.Its my opinion you have had a major impact on driving the conversation on the ideals you find so important.And have been a steady voice of reason on most issues.I think there may be some legacy here,thanks to you.

    Also you built the best thread on this site.The Lounge is your baby.
    Kudos
    Shocking that I agree with a post by rr. But I do with this about Brian, though I don't frequent the Lounge.

    Just as a reminder that we should be just as concerned as where we will be 20 days from now, versus 20 years, my old boss passed away this morning. He was a heck of a guy. 2 years ago he was diagnosed with Parkinson's five months before his retirement.

    Embrace life and treasure every day.

    Here's to Doug. A great man loved by many.

    I'm sorry, Jason.

    One of my ex-and-beloved bosses died of ALS at 50, shortly after being diagnosed. Also a really good person...I still think of him even though it's been 12 years.

    A valuable prompt to take no one, and nothing, for granted.

    "Troubled souls unite, we got ourselves tonight
    I am fuel, you are friends, we got the means to make amends
    I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side
    I am right by your side
    Young lover I stand
    It was their idea, I proved to be a man
    Take my fucking hand
    It was their idea, I proved to be a man
    Will myself to find a home, a home within myself
    We will find a way, we will find our place"

    This song was the opener at my very first show in 2000. It was so perfect - beautiful - and I absorb it as both a welcome and farewell, depending on the soul and psyche at the time.

    I see this has hit you hard, and send sincere good wishes from here.
