An Anonymous Friar, Looking Back On His Life ...
Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 6, 2010 (message contributor)
An anonymous friar, looking back on his life during his latter years, declared, ’If I had my life to live over again, I would try to make more mistakes next time. I’d relax, I’d limber up, and I’d be sillier than I’ve been on this trip. I’d take more trips. I’d be crazier:
I’d climb more mountains, swim more rivers, and watch more sunsets. I’d eat more ice cream and less beans! If I had to do it over again I’d go places, do things, and travel lighter: if I had my life to live over I’d start barefooted earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the autumn. I’d ride on more merry-go-rounds. I’d pick more daisies.
