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.
