She paints such a beautiful portrait of returning to Nevada City and being overwhelmed by the changes there and in her own life - as if her hometown was a mirror into her soul. I think Good Intentions alludes to some of the same emotions - as does In California and perhaps Occident.

I may have changed. It's hard to gauge.
Time won't account for how I've aged.
Would I could tie your lying tongue,
who says that leaving keeps you young.
